[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea when the MCPS grading system is correct.  I just looked, here an array of things going on:
- One classes states no missing assignment. Yet has zero for three assignments.  I assume the teacher just hasn’t graded those but don’t understand why the grade is just not pending.  Or if it’s missing why it isn’t reflected.
- One class shows missing assignments of which each noted as missing has a grade.  If you go in Canvas you can see these are paper assignments.  So why is the assignment noted as missing?
- One class has an assignment that is not due until January and in fact hasn’t even been given to students but yet the grade reflects 50%.

Maybe if Admin set and enforced a standard grading timeline and way Canvas is supposed to operate families could spend less time focusing on this and more time focused on the class content.  I won’t even get into the need for meaningful feedback and grading for excellence.[/quote]

The Canvas/Synergy connection is horrible.  It used to be that if a teacher marked something missing in Canvas it would show up missing in Synergy.  Now, that sync doesn't always happen.  As a teacher, I haven't figured it out.  I can manually enter missing in Synergy, but that is low on my priority of things.  I use the tools that MCPS provides.  I refuse to enter grades twice.  I put them in once and it is what it is.  It is on MCPS to make sure that their programs are set correctly.  This is not on the teacher, it is on MCPS.  This is why we need to stop blaming teachers for things out of their control.  [/quote]
True,  Whoever does IT for MCPS really needs to be fired.  None of these systems work well.[/quote]
