[quote=Anonymous]It's not making a huge difference for my kids.  One gets A+s in everything either way.  The other one specialized in getting like an 89 each quarter, so always ended up with the B anyway.  I'm actually hoping other kids grades come down so that he looks better.  Both of my kids would do better with a percentage system, where it would show that the one kid has a 98% in the class, and the other kid has an 89% in the class.

I do really really really really wish that teachers could get the assignments graded on time.  There are so many classes where we've had nothing graded since early May.  Or if you are sick and have to do a makeup, that makeup grade doesn't get input until the very last day of the semester.  It's all well and good to say that kids should be accountable, but they definitely notice that the accountability only runs one way.

My second wish for MCPS HS teachers is that they would put deadlines into the canvass calendar so it was easier to track and more transparent when assignments were due.  It seems like maybe half our teachers do that.  That doesn't seem that hard to me -- everyone uses electronic calendars for everything in life.  It seems kind of perverse to refuse to use it here, where it would be so helpful.[/quote]
