[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher in another county and find this teacher incompetent. This teacher must be old and not able to keep up with the times. It’s ok, it happens. We never could force students back to class. You make it hurt the kids through a grade. Assign a warm up every day and an exit ticket at the end. It will bring their grade down. The teacher said one big assignment could bring their grade up? Every assignment should have the same weight. Not one standard or lesson is bigger than another… fifty percent grade on attempt is still an E. Document communication on an app that shows “read” status even if they don’t respond, like ClassDojo. It’s so easy to complain and be a part of the problem than to be a part of the solution. No, this will not work for everyone but nothing ever does.[/quote]

You are sitting in another district with zero clue about MCPS policy constraints telling us how easy peasy it would be for our teachers to fix these problems. It would be funny if it wasn’t so dangerous.

[b]Assign a warm up every day and an exit ticket at the end. [/b]

MCPS no longer allows that many grades.

[b]Every assignment should have the same weight.[/b]

MCPS requires two weights and a min/max number of grades in each category.

[b]Document communication on an app that shows “read” status even if they don’t respond, like ClassDojo.[/b]

That doesn’t meet what MCPS accepts as two way communication with a parent.[/quote]
