[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid can do IB program at W-L then definitely do that over Yorktown. APS is implementing new [b]grading for equity std[/b]s that will really hurt the rigor and caliber of the education. They can’t do that nonsense with IB though. [/quote] What does "grading for equity" mean?[/quote] Not giving or grading for homework and placing more emphasis on end of period tests so kids won’t be penalized for poor performance throughout a quarter but instead rewarded for their “progress” towards demonstrating that they meet the standards. [b]Sounds good in theory[/b] but in practice kids may blow off most of the work until the end of the quarter. [/quote] No, it doesn't sound good in theory. At all. Especially for high school. This is not how life works. APS is rapidly going downhill.[/quote]
