[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Madison is not the only school with SBG.  It is being rolled out across the county, [b]primarily in schools where parents are least likely to challenge its implementation[/b].   It will have have a detrimental impact on kids planning to go to college.

But yea, fight over which school needs the most physical plant and cosmetic improvement that is what Gatehouse is counting on. [/quote]

Relatively few high schools in FCPS have a more actively engaged group of parents than Madison.

You are apparently frustrated that, despite months of posting incessantly about SBG on this forum, you haven't found enough fellow parents at Madison to take up your cause.  Since then, you've done two things - first, demand that SBG be implemented everywhere (rather than insist on the elimination of SBG, which you obviously think is a bad idea, at Madison); and second, denigrate any issue other than your concern over SBG, such as the facilities-related concerns of people at other schools that, unlike Madison, haven't recently gotten multi-million additions or renovations.

Neither of those strategies will get you the results you're seeking.

It was rolled out at Herndon and every teacher is basically defining how to implement SBG. It is a huge issue. And to the PP above ... there is SBG and there is FCPS and the way your school (will) implement it. And if you're a HS parent, you know that there is are disconnects between ES and MS and HS on many things (SBG, whether a student should/not take honors) all within the same pyramid. It is bonkers. The way SBG is rolled out at Herndon and probably Madison makes all the other schools have inflated grades.

If missing one question on a 100 question test drops you to a B at a class at Herndon, but earns you an A at Chantilly, there is a HUGE issue. [/quote]
