Here is the problem with MCPS.

The grading system, ParentVue, etc, doesn't work well enough for parents to be able to see if kids are turning in assignments on time.

In addition, most teachers just let kids skate and if they don't turn in assignments, oh well, that's on them! THey will just get a D.

So the kids are not held accountable.

And yes, ideally, kids are organized enough to stay on top of their work and be diligent and turn it all in on their own.

But they are kids!

Personally I think MCPS needs a better system that shows what is due and when and whether they have been turned in. Kids should get a couple days grace period and if it hasn't been turned in by the deadline, an email automatically goes out to parents and kid. Kid has two days to turn in assignment but has a few points taken off.

When I was in school,. you had to turn your assignments in in person. The teacher would say, turn your assignment in, she would count them, and if yours wasn't there, she would publically shame you by asking you why you had not turned your assignment in. Parents would be called.

Now teachers are just like, whatever. And the parents can't figure out because the system doesn't update well![/quote]
