[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If teachers feel the final grade for the year is accurate, do teachers even give a crap regarding the grades along the way. Parents do. Not sure teachers do. I think they only care how things look at the end. Teachers are, generally, going to fit class grades into an accepted overall grade distribution.[/quote] ??? As a teacher this makes no sense to me. The only way we GET a grade at the end of the year is by grading along the way. The end result is what it is and yes, it reflects the work the child put in, for better or worse. I swear this is the same idea the kids have, that we just make up number for them. You and they seem to not understand that the grade comes from the amount of work they turned in that demonstrates accurate mastery of the skills. If it’s an 80% that means they could independently demonstrate mastery of the skills with 80% accuracy. It doesn’t mean “I came up with this number because I dislike you.” [/quote]
