[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps there are adjustments that need to be made, but I certainly hope MCPS doesn’t go back to the old grading policy. Having a guarantee that you can pass regardless of effort isn’t a good incentive either. For the students who are already failing in Nov, there should be alternative classes or schools where they can catch up to grade level skills.[/quote] We Need our schools to catch up to the reality of its total population. I’ve seen so much work put into developing programs for really gifted kids (as it should be). But I feel like this group of kids is ignored. I am not in the field but f education. But it seems obvious that what is being done isn’t working. And it’s not a small group of kids. It’s like someone needs to reimagine education for this group of students butntnisnt happening. [/quote] +1 I’ve been thinking about this a lot with the UCSD math story. If high schoolers haven’t yet learned fractions, it doesn’t do them any good to be passed along and put in classes called algebra and pre-calc. They need to be taught fractions.[/quote]
