[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it seems that they are following what happens in college where 70-80% of your final grade is usually associated with tests and quizzes, which is fine.[/quote] Not sure why high school has to be "like college" but no, different teachers and classes are classing various assignments, projects, quizzes and tests as formative or summative. And the result has not been fine. This change was rolled out last-minute at the end of the summer and it hasn't been the solution that the school board was aiming for. So they'll micro-manage something else to try to fix things. [/quote] I have it on good authority that the school board was blindsided and some of them opposed the change.[/quote]
