[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feel free to quibble on minor details. The big picture is that MCPS, and the American approach to education in general, are not sustainable in the long-term. We need curriculae with informative factual content, not "higher-order thinking / creative strategies". [b]We need to use detailed and specific measures to evaluate students' work, not meaningless Ps and Is.[/b] We need to train teachers to be precise and rigorous in their teaching, not laissez-faire. We need to pay these teachers more to begin with, so that the cream of the crop will be attracted to the teaching profession! No more wishy-washy murky nonsense. [/quote] Please distinguish between "evaluating" and "grading" students. They are not synonymous. Grading is a form of evaluation, but it is not the only form. And if P/I/N is meaningless, then so are O/S/I and A/B/C/D. [/quote]
