[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:06 Stop playing dumb. You know that N/I/P are measured differently than N/S/O or A/B/C/D. A teacher and multiple posters have responded to this. You just seem to need to defend MCPS with poor logic and weak arguments over and over again. Are you paid to do this?[/quote]

Yes, they are measured differently. This does not make them any less (or more) meaningful, either intrinsically or to me as a parent.

With my pre-2.0 kid, when the kid received an O, or an A, that told me that the kid has learned what the kid was supposed to learn. If I wanted to know exactly why the kid received an O, or an A, I would have to ask the teacher. (Typically the teacher would explain why at the parent-teacher conference, but there is only one of those per year, compared to four report cards per year.)

With my 2.0 kid, when the kid receives a P, that tells me that the kid has learned what the kid was supposed to learn. If I want to know exactly why the kid received P, I have to ask the teacher. (Typically the teacher explains why at the parent-teacher conference, but there is only one of those per year, compared to four report cards per year.)

And I want to know why almost every post that says that 2.0 does not represent the world coming to an end gets a response of "you must work for MCPS". (I do not work for MCPS.) I have never, in real life, talked to a 2.0-hater. I don't conclude from this that nobody who posts on DCUM with hatred of 2.0 can possibly be sincere.
