[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on the population at Herndon I understand why they felt SBG could help with low performing kids. And they prob assumed parents would be quiet. But what was the reason they did it at Madison which is typically a high performing school with engaged parents?[/quote] Madison parent here. It was implemented by a new principal. It was completely her decision. I heard her say it at a meeting when a parent asked if FCPS was making Madison do this. She said it was the choice of the school, FCPS had nothing to do with it, and that Reid may shut it down (at the time Reid was new too). This was last year. I don't know why principals do things like this, maybe it's a career move, maybe it's a way of closing the gap and making the school look more equitable, who knows. Maybe principals are evaluated on equity and a big achievement gap impacts their evaluation so SBG seems like an easy fix.[/quote]
