[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG this woman is such a troll. Ok yeah give my kid Bs and Cs for A work for 1-2 graded in class assignments. Go ahead. I’m keeping every graded assignment and every rubric and will challenge it all in the end if I have to and I encourage every other parent to do the same. This is ridiculous.

This is what every parent in a school with SBG must do.   Only way to stop the madness to come.  [/quote]

Definitely not c.r.a.z.y. :lol: [/quote]

If you saw the grade and the rubric and the work you would say this is crazy. So crazy that I think teachers from a non-SBG school would agree this is a problem.

Here is a teacher discussing SBG - she says it’s called equity grading in urban areas and SBG in the suburbs.

She talks about the why. She says it’s being implemented because people think the traditional grading system hurts kids self-esteem, they get in a hole and can’t dig themselves out.[/quote]

This x1000. The principal has said numerous times that taking quizzes stresses kids out so this happily removes that stress because they aren’t graded. So for those that claim this is like college - no, eliminating stress is not like college AND besides, the actual tests are stressful because of how the grading is. [/quote]
