[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8th grader is in honors Algebra and has a C-. She got pass advanced on the SOL.

The teacher gives very short tests, and tests are almost the entire grade. SO all the classwork, homework, quizzes makes very little difference. If a test has five questions, and you miss one, that's an 80%. There is no handwritten calculations turned in like in the olden times, so the kids don't get partial credit for getting some of the steps correct. Its just a right or wrong multiple choice. Frankly, obviously, I don't think its great for the kids.

This is how it is for my DD with the D.  Homework and classwork counts for almost nothing.   Tests are online and graded entirely answer only so any little mistake results in full loss of credit.

When my current 11th grader took Algebra in middle school, tests were all on paper and work had to be shown.  Work was graded and feedback was given.  Partial credit was also given.  Now it’s all full credit or zero and computer graded.  Is it like this at every school now? [/quote]
