[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has moved beyond 50% minimums at my kids' FCPS school. Classwork doesn't count, homework doesn't count, and the previous quarter grade is dropped and replaced by a higher letter grade if the grade in the current quarter is higher. This doesn't work in reverse, of course, meaning the previous quarter grade is never lowered. It seems that most of the parents at the school don't even know this is going on or don't care. I would like to see the research that shows that a 14 year old has [b]the intrinsic motivation/executive functioning to do the work when it doesn't matter[/b] anymore. These policies are being implemented all over the country. I can't imagine this is the kind of education most parents want for their children. [/quote] Very few people, teens or adults, have that.[/quote]
