[quote=Anonymous]I thought MCPS’s current system was supposedly standards-based, and I haven’t been impressed. The whole point of grading is to communicate with parents, and other interested parties a rough idea of what a child is learning. No system is perfect, but I think what people understand best is a traditional grading system, where grading was based on a percentage. I want work to actually be graded and not just checked for completion. I want tests without automatic retests for poor scores and finals. I don’t want to give kids a minimum of 50%, but do support the restoration of extra credit, where they can do extra work to bring their grade up, hopefully learning along the way, or even as an incentive to explore the richness of a subject.
