[quote=Anonymous]What was intellectually dishonest was attributing a grading system that has been around for 100 plus years to somehow creating poor extra credit programs. SBG doesn’t take away from people asking this and extra credit is not the horror the SBG slides make it out to be. I’ve never met a teacher who gave extra credit for tissues for the classroom and if they did it’s likely it helped kids not get sick and learn more. Extra credit typically meant a lot of work and was a positive lesson that going the extra mile paid off. Why does every new policy need to trash what went before it? If it’s so good it should be able to stand on its own merits. It’s entirely honest to say that SBG has not helped poor performing school systems. It’s meant to help them and it doesn’t. It’s an important point. [/quote]
