[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid knows all the material but the split grading of tests into different categories is lowering the grades.[/quote] I don’t understand. If he knows all the material, wouldn’t he do well no matter how it’s divided up?[/quote] Yes. A 20 question test covering [b]4[/b] standards and [b]4[/b] gradebook entries is the same as a 20 question test covering [b]4[/b] standards with one gradebook entry. It’s just that you could hide never understand[b]ing[/b] a standard before (15/20, C) while now it says 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 0/5. Same C average, but you’ll see an F [b]as one entry. Won’t affect overall grade any differently though.[/b] It’s actually a much clearer way to communicate student understanding. It’s just new/different.[/quote] Sorry, I’m spacey. Fixed.[/quote]
