[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test scores matter more to me than grades. So much fluff goes into grades like a grade for attendance, for participation, for having your notebook, for homework completion, etc, but not so much on the actual skill or standard being taught. Therefore, it does not show mastery. [b]Test scores, however, shows mastery[/b], so those matter more to me. I am a teacher and a parent[/quote] +1 I care more about standardized test scores than grades for the same reason. My kids had bad elementary teachers who gave top grades to any student who had a pulse, and other even worse elementary teachers who gave out grades based on favoritism. Even when some parents pushed back on standardized testing I'm glad the schools kept it. [/quote]
