The new secondary grading policy isn't "for show." That's a significant change that's been needed for a long time.[/quote]

The grading is not the issue.  Its the quality of education and supports kids get.  Its all for show.  We need to go back to traditional teaching with homework, textbooks and structure and not just have teachers making it up as you go.  Teaching math, science, english and history without books is absurd.  Kids not knowing what assignments or tests are coming and no structure sucks.  Some teachers not grading or taking weeks to grade so kids don't know what's going on sucks.  Kids not getting a good foundation in elementary means many will struggle later on if parents don't supplement outside.  Taylor and the others are tone death.[/quote]

Agree with this, except for the teachers making it up as they go.  They're constrained by the curriculum, policy and variable school admin/particular classroom demographic dynamics.  There certainly are those that fail on the other items (well communicated scheduling, timely grading, quality feedback, responsiveness to inquiry, etc.).[/quote]

In HS we have multiple teachers making it up as they go.  Some teachers follow the MCPS curriculum, others don't.  There is no accountability.[/quote]

Your kid must be in the same class as our kid.[/quote]
