[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think MCPS is more [b]concerned with their reputation[/b] than actually educating kids. As “one of the best school systems in the nation” they have a vested interest in keeping their passing and graduation rates high. If the students haven’t learned anything, they’ll manipulate the measures that would alert the parents to that fact. When too many students were failing the finals, their remedy wasn’t to improve the curriculum or anything else that could facilitate subject mastery. Instead, they eliminated finals. Much of the homework isn’t actually graded, just checked for completion. The work that is graded, as you mentioned, is subject to the 50% rule. Tests can be retaken for a higher grade. As long as they can cover up a problem, they have no incentive to fix it. [/quote] +162000 always focused on optics[/quote]
