[quote=Anonymous][quote]Why hasn't the county held teachers accountable for student performance? (I understand this is coming) [/quote] No, its not. Starr is still fighting MD for MCPS not to use student performance on tests as a relevant % of teacher evaluations. [quote]Why do we have so many students who think it's okay to fail an exam, or not study for it, even if it means you still get a decent grade in the course? [/quote] In elementary school with 2.0 its getting worse. Kids have already figured out that they get a P if they get 100% correct and they get a P if they get 70% correct. There's more of a disincentive to try to do better than 70% because the kid's get disappointed when they don't get an ES. An ES is not about performing at the top or doing really well on something, its about spontaneously demonstrating something that was never taught or brought up in class. [/quote]
