[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way kid #1 with two VERY low quiz grades would get a 70% on the test. Let's be real. The quizzes are the checkpoint, the wakeup call.[/quote] It depends. For some teachers, that kid would get a 30% on the test, but then do the retake and get a much higher grade because they can study only the material that's on the test. I'd rather see schools give 0s for missing work but at least 80% credit for late work. The kids with the Fs still need to do all of the homework to get the foundations down. Telling them that they can do nothing and get a 50 encourages them to skip homework, which in turn sets them up to get lower grades on the tests because they haven't learned the material.[/quote] yes, exactly! I’m not even sure how a teacher would manage under this system to ensure kids do all the work needed to learn. The kids need to do all the homework in many cases. [/quote]
