[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]*shrug* Different schools and jurisdictions do things differently. A friend in MD said they have no finals at all for their HS classes. My daughter’s school has a cumulative finals for Algebra I. I haven’t heard of final projects for math classes, but that sounds interesting. In the end, these things matter so little.[/quote]

It does matter because some kids would do well on project (esp with at home help), others in on traditional exam. Why is it allowed to be different? Or shouldn't all Algebra I students have choice of same options (exam, project, etc.)? Seems very different expectations and grades but then same words on transcript for college. At least within FCPS should be same?[/quote]

Regardless of what school or district you are in, nothing is ever uniform. Even if a final exam is the same, the assignments, delivery and content will often vary even while following the same curriculum.  Teachers have different styles and approaches.  Why is this allowed? Trust me, it’s better this way. If you truly want everyone to get the exact same, then nothing except for a robot or AI can deliver that.  [/quote]
