[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school doesn't do retakes and they still haven't gotten updated. Teachers have block scheduling. Why can't they grade during class?[/quote] FCPS has retakes - kids are allowed to retake up to 100%.[/quote] Not at JMHS. SBG - skills are reassessed thorough out the year, and that’s the retake. At the end of the year, there is supposed to be one test that covers all the skills and that can replace your grade in all the skills for the entire year. The 3 other SBG schools are offering retakes for each summative, but not JMHS. The bigger problem is the formatives, which are mostly very difficult quizzes or harshly graded classwork. Kids are going to end up with about a half letter grade deduction because of the formatives. I thought the grading system at JMHS couldn’t get any worse…. [/quote] That really stinks. It’s not fair.[/quote]
