[quote=Anonymous]The work habits were only 10 percent of the grade before if that. I don’t know what class people were getting great grades for work habits beyond just learning material through practice but actually work habits are very important in most jobs anyway. What age child do you have? The units aren’t set up for skills. They are set up for subject material. Did you have a child before this change in the high school program? Was there a problem before that this skills based testing solves? You make assumptions that I didn’t seeing before with the old program. The new grading creates more work for the teacher and less incentive and less organization for the student. I don’t see a benefit to it and am concerned by the extra work to implement and follow.
