[quote=Anonymous]I was prepared to be upset by Standards Based Grading, because of comments I'd seen here or there. To me, it actually seems like it will be an improvement. Instead of seeing "Math: B" I will see exactly which skills my kid has mastered, and which ones are still being worked on. I think it sounds like a LOT more work for teachers, but maybe it's just spelling out all the work they already do to evaluate kids. Nightly reading homework gives my kid much needed structure, because my child is much more interested in doing what their teacher says than what I say. Math sheets are similar, it helps me realize what concepts are still being worked on or what needs more support. Other homework does not improve academic outcomes (yes there is lots of data on this) so I don't understand doing busy work outside of school. The assigned homework started in 3rd grade at our school. [/quote]
