[quote=Anonymous]I think replacing the grade from the past is supposed to show that students are learning the standard better like you mentioned showing growth in the standard and therefore it's not an issue to have lower grades first quarter because they can be replaced but in practice it doesn't work this way. Kids get more discouraged early on and have a harder time following their grade with all the changes. Fcps uses to have first second third and fourth quarter standards to follow. Do they not have these now? This made it easy to teach and grade to these quarter standards. You got an A to F based on first quarter standards instead of fourth quarter standards and this told you whether you were on track for the quarter or not which would help predict if you were on track for the year. To me this is more straightforward than hoping you do better on the next assessment which will replace the one before. Also for the teacher. How easy is it for them to know if their student who got a C last time will get a B now and show improvement? Add in having only whole letter grades and the growth could end up not showing up at all.
