[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an “A” and “B” student entering high school.  What will that even mean when he graduates?  If they implement this system, unless he takes all AP or IB classes, his grades and hard work will be meaningless.

I’ve been teaching for fifteen years.  Some of this stuff is good, but was always common sense.  For example, I believe late work should be accepted without a massive penalty.

But giving kids that haven’t done anything- shoot, haven’t even come to class- half credit in the name of equity?  That is ridiculous.  In my classes, as other teachers have stated, a kid could come two or three days a quarter, do no make-up work, and still pass.  It is complete and utter nonsense, and will do away with any kind of integrity an APS education had at all.

It’s time to rally.[/quote]

It’s time to read the riot act to the school board. And vote for Miranda this week - only 2 more voting days! Mirandaturner.org[/quote]
Miranda doesn't oppose standards based grading. All she says on her website is that some don't understand the changes and terminology.

Then she talks about advancing equity.

Sounds like she is actually FOR SBG.

No thanks.[/quote]
