[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Herndon, this year everyone with parents loud enough will get an A. Principal just announced last Monday (a week ago) that anyone can retake any standard without risk of lowering their grade. No deadlines but last day of school. As many retakes as they want. Teachers were notified over email the night before. [/quote]

Will these loud parents be taking the retakes?  I don’t get how the parents have anything to do with the grade. [/quote]

Loud parents made this ridiculous development happen. That is how. [/quote]

Good for them. SBG is a disgrace. The teachers should have rallied with the parents. [/quote]

It is not SBG that is bad, it is how it had been implemented in FCPS schools. What had been done in Herndon is really bad. [/quote]

No it's just bad. The guy around here who promotes it specifically says it's to ensure that teachers teach what they should be teaching and grades reflect this. There are other methods that track standards and grading regularity. This  program has so many other fails and even if yes we want teachers to teach and grade appropriately, it's always going to be a headache to add on and create loopholes as a result for other things to fall through the cracks. Teachers are not willing to take on more work just to dot Is and Cross T's that they are teaching and grading to standards. They will compensate by removing other important instruction and tasks.[/quote]
