[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the central office curriculum crew were crazy when they switched from a-e grading to the es,p,i,n for elementary school, now getting rid of high school finals I know they are crazy.   Also, an granular level some of the material distributed under C 2.0 is poor too. It's not the teachers its the curriculum office on a county wide basis that needs improvement. [/quote]

Exactly! The central office folks pretend to listen to teachers, but they really don't. Teachers were very much against this because teachers know the students need to learn how to take a cumulative test on material they have learned in class. They will have to do this in college, if they go. If they choose to go into the military or pursue a trade or some other career, the discipline of studying for a final exams will serve them well.

This decision is all about trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. The 2.0 Curriculum SUCKS! The elementary grading system is a joke because the range of what is considered "proficient " is so broad as to be meaningless. The people making the decisions are CLUELESS about what classrooms need and they disregard what teachers say they want.

I'm SO tired of MCPS administrators. Year after year they make it more difficult to teach kids. Please HELP us teachers by CONTACTING THE BOARD to object to this ridiculous decision.[/quote]
