[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the county is trying to better educate the teachers about how the grades were intended to be used. ES, P and I are not exact substitutes for the old system O, S and N, but I think last year (and perhaps this year at some schools), teachers are using the new letters as substitutes for the old standards. [b]Our principal made it very clear that very few ES grades will be given, and P is the goal. [/quote][/b] This really bothers me. What kind of a message does it send to the kids? Aim for mediocrity? No one will achieve "ES" so why bother putting forth your best effort...Grrr[/quote] But P isn't meant to designate mediocrity, it is meant to designate mastery. ES is a superfluous grade that they probably should not have included. [/quote]
