[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m mostly concerned it doesn’t encourage learning. [/quote]

Quite the opposite!  It doesn't DIScourage learning.  It encourages kids to keep doing better on the next test b/c if they do, they will get a bump up on the most recent previous test.  [/quote]

Look, we know that you are the poster we suspect of being admin or someone close to admin. Please just start your own pro-SBG at Madison thread and see if you get any posts/views besides your own.

I am just a parent at Madison, and I tend to agree with PP. SBG has been fine. My kid is learning the material, he has to revisit it every unit, and his grades have not changed.

I AM the poster who asked earlier about grade inflation, and in the end, that is all I am seeing here...people mad that homework doesn't prop up a grade on a bad test anymore. The question remains: is your kid learning the material? If so, and most likely, why are you upset?

This nonsense that Madison students will have lower grades is just that-nonsense

I am not really seeing any legit arguments.[/quote]
