[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you believe that grading can only be subjective then you have never taught or you are a bad teacher. It is a lot of work to put in place and maintain an objective grading standard. It is even MORE work to give students consistent feedback and teach them so they can earn the highest grade reflective of their potential. It is far easier to present the material, let the kids work without any guidance, and then "grade" them on a curve or cluster them all into the same grade.

There is nothing in MCPS that rewards teachers for teaching. There are several dedicated teachers who embrace the idea of getting each child to work to their potential but most don't or feel they don't have time. The central office doesn't care at all. Their focus is solely test performance and the bottom performers. [/quote]

9:42 here -- I understand what you are saying, however my point was that because teachers are people and people are different that there will always be an element of subjectivity in grading. Even if the only difference is 1 teacher is great and the other is awful(however you would classify and make that determination). [/quote]
