[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Counting homework and class work is the biggest grade fluffing there is. Every year I’m dropping the percent it counts more and more as I realize it. Kids who get Cs on math tests should have Cs for a final grade. The fact that they can “work hard” and get Bs and then sign up for higher level courses with inflated confidence is troubling. They are struggling going forward. It’s now 85% assessments, 15% other work. Since they get 7.5% baseline, that means a brilliant kid who gets 100 on everything could still have an A doing no work. That seems fair. Ideally I’d get it down to 5% but I’m pretty sure kids who need to do the practice would stop doing it at that point.[/quote] Ideally? Our school counts 0% for other work. [/quote]
