[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is something due at the end of every class period. They are assignments that often can’t be completed during the class period - they get started but never finish. It’s exhausting. Why can’t they just lecture, have the kids take notes, and eventually have a quiz or test. Why does every class period need to have some kind of output?[/quote]

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not.

There is output every class because otherwise 75% of kids would not participate. Accountability is the only way to get kids to do the work required to get their test grades to a good level.

[b]The good news is with the 70/30 split, it’s okay if they don’t finish all the classwork. [/b]It’s guaranteed a minimum 50% for true effort, so with decent test grades you can still have an A or B.[/quote]

This is the issue. There is so much class work and my child is putting too much effort into it. It barely debts the grade.[/quote]

Just trying to clarify: You think the grade should be based on effort?[/quote]
