[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can SBG work with a 100% scale??[/quote] Easily. An A = 100, a B = 86 or 84, a C = 76. So if you answer all questions correctly, you get 100. If you miss one, you get 86, etc. IOW, most grades will be a B with some Cs and a few As. [/quote] This is why SBG is the far bigger issue. As implanted in FCPS it will bring about a grading outcome that will close the “achievement” or “outcome” gap by creating “equity” in the sense that most kids are right in the middle. Since college admissions are primarily based on how you compare with others in your same school, those applying to VA universities will not suffer greatly, especially since instate AOs will pick up on this rather quickly. For those looking at top 20s and OOS flagships well that won’t go so well. [/quote]
