[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MCPS you can get a 79.5 and an 89.5 in an honors class and get a 5.0. It has got to be the most inflated grading system known. Bare minimum. [/quote] And that's when: Most work isn't graded but merely checked for completion. Work that is graded, as long as it was attempted gets a minimum grade of 50%, regardless of its correctness. Students can retake quizzes for a higher grade.[/quote] I am 8:00. a former MCPS teacher questioned on the number of zeroes in my gradebook You can assign a zero; however, be prepared to justify it (or, in my case, them). Most of the kids who needed reteaching rarely came. Furthermore, while I will never say no to a student who requests extra help, these MCPS measures stripped responsibility from students, forcing teachers to be 100% accountable for students' performance. no thanks So we parted ways.[/quote]
