[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are telling you it’s providing less information. FCPS has specifically said it’s to help struggling students. I don’t know what battle you are fighting today. Why are you such a proponent of a grading system that has shown no long term benefit? Why are you so blind to the arguments against it and so for it when it’s been nothing but a failure at Madison and around the United States? What is your actual battle and agenda?

No one brought about this battle as a need for change other than the FCPS administration. We are fighting to bring back the previous policy since we were never made aware of a need for change, given a reason why Madison needed this change, or had any say about it’s coming about. [/quote]

My “battle” is ignorance. The execution may be poor but the goal is to provide more info and shift focus towards learning/mastery. It has nothing to do with “equity” regardless of how you conflate it with other initiatives.

Not sure why you would say this.

“Grading for Equity” is a primer for this exact system of standards based grading. SBG being part and parcel of the county’s  focus on equity isn’t really up for debate.

West Potomac has the same grading system and even refers to the implementation as “West Potomac's Equitable Grading Journey.”
