[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The elimination of extra credit. That must be designed to say, no more freebies for wealthy/UMC families who have the time and resources to complete those projects. On this point, I applaud you, leaders of APS![/quote] Sometimes extra credit is an opportunity for students who take a bit longer to master the material, or who don't do well on tests due to test-anxiety to improve their grades. They're not getting hundreds of extra credit points. Extra credit opportunities are generally just a handful of points at most, or a few percentage points. And you don't usually need "time and resources" to complete them....they're typically small, "fun" silly things or an extra worksheet provided by the teacher.[/quote]
