[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems that OP is the only one opposed, lol. I’m strongly for these immediate changes.[/quote]

What grade is your kid in? I’m fine with this for my 7th grader when she starts HS, but not okay with it for my 10th grader. It’s just not fair to these kids to change the rule on how semester grades are calculated halfway through HS. [/quote]

But isn't it better to change it now to prepare them for college? Otherwise they will just get thrown into college without experience with real grading.[/quote]

Real grading? I thought it was about real leaning.[/quote]

Please tell me how real learning can happen when little Johnny doesn’t show up for 10 weeks because he knows he got a C during MP3…

If grades weren’t important for learning, we wouldn’t have them. But they absolutely are necessary, at least for students whose minds are not fully developed, and would not be intrinsically motivated to learn algebraic equations. Also, teachers cannot adequately measure a students learning without grades. If you would like to keep living in La La Land, go ahead…

I am absolutely baffled that people here care about the kid who doesn’t show up for 10 weeks and gets a C. What does that have to do with my kid? Teachers keep moving the lessons along. Some of you are absolutely nuts. Set standards for your own kid. [/quote]
