[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids used to be self-sufficient in highschool before this grading system. I mean they would do work on their own by the time they were in highschool. Now parents have to go into schoology and be on their kids 24/7 about doing the work. "WHy didn't you submit this assignment in class today?" "Uh, I don't know" "Is it because it didn't count?" Kid sheepishly looking at the ground.

I'm talking about classwork!!! Forget about homework, which is basically non-existent anyway even in honors classes. Good job Calvert & crew. You took something that was pretty good and tore it down and made it into something not so great.[/quote]

It’s all part of Reid’s plan.  SBG which is sound in theory and been around for decades gets bastardized by school systems today to close the achievement gap.   The process is made exceptionally confusing and convoluted to keep parents and teachers off guard.

Don't worry though by the time final grades roll around it will be alright.   A good number of Cs and Bs with a few As sprinkled in, and few if any Ds or Fs.

Achievement gap closed. Superintendent and principals get rewarded, teachers and parents frustrated and kids off to second tier colleges.

I get this post will upset many the flaming will begin, but come back in June and tell me what I got wrong.
