[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the problem is that outside of the VA colleges the students will be compared by Country/ region. So my child who doesn’t get to take retakes at Madison will be compared to another student at McLean who does. As mentioned the practices are not similar to the assessments and are not graded so students don’t know what to expect or fully understand how much they know the content before they take the assessment. It really is pushing students to a B[/quote] This is the biggest issue with SBG and kids applying to college. If applying to VA schools AOs will understand what is going on so kids at Madison will be compared to other kids from Madison. Where it becomes a major problem is when applying out of state. AOs don’t know some schools allow retest to 100, some to 80, some no retest at all. Principals and admin only care about a more even grade distribution and closing the “achievement gap”. [/quote]
