[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It wouldn’t work to just use quarter or semester grades as final grades in high school because only final grades show on a transcript and most teachers start the kids out low and raise their grades throughout the year. They call it a trend or showing progress. If they stopped right now, my sons grades would be significantly lower than they would be at the end of the year. [/quote]

Uh this is not true. We don’t start your kids’ grades or end them anywhere. Your kids earn them. [/quote]

You should talk to the teachers at my kids high school then. Most will literally tell you that it is standards based and their grade will go up as they master the material during the year. For example, French teacher said at BTS night, no one would get higher than a C first quarter or B second quarter. Only math is a straight average. [/quote]

What school is that? [/quote]

I’m not going to share the name, but it’s a FCPS high school. [/quote]

It's a bad one.  [/quote]

Notice she cited French. An elective. Teachers do not do this. I assure you. [/quote]
