[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m hearing rumors that the second marking period will bring substantial and worrisome changes to the grading policy for secondary schools. Normally, I ignore rumors until I see the memo, but several reputable sources at school and county levels independently tell me and other teachers the same things: Starting 11/9, the maximum number of assignments will be 12 for the entire marking period. No more than 8 assignments can be in the 90% category. All assignments in the 90% category can be redone multiple times. This change is in response to parent complaints about student stress. I’m very sensitive to student stress, but if this is true, I think it is alarming. If you as a parent have complained about student stress, is this what you wanted?[/quote] if any of this ia true things will be much harder than the status quo but parents as usual will push to relax the enhanced rigor[/quote]
