[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the parent who keeps posting over and over again in support of this with the boy that doesn't like to to do the worK: you need to go substitute in a class at Madison for one day where the work doesn't count. Go see what is going on then maybe we have a talk about the point of going to school at all. Students can just show up for the tests and quit wasting everyone's time.

[b]What we've stablished here is SBG works for smart kids that are teaching themselves everything anyway like a kid in Calc B/C as a sophomore,[/b] and the slacker kids that like to float by and SBG makes their lives easier.[/quote]

This is not true.  There are still kids who are:  (1) being taught new material BY THE TEACHER, and (2) learning that material IN SCHOOL, and (3) showing what they know on assessments even though they did not do the HOMEwork.

There can be work done IN CLASS that is practice for the assessment.  HOMEwork is not the only way kids practice the new lessons.  Teachers can teach in a way that kids are actively practicing the material at school.
