[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I see a mismatch between formative and summative.  DC has lots (10+) formative assignments with 5/5, 9/9, or the occasional 11/12, etc. and then bombs the summative with 32/65.  Yes, he'll be doing the retake.  But that's a big disconnect.  Makes no sense.  [/quote]

There is no disconnect. Your son didn’t study/doesn’t actually grasp the material that is tested. Formatives are graded mainly for completion. Makes perfect sense.[/quote]

Formatives range from edutech assignments to quizzes, everything that is not the big test.[/quote]

I don't understand how a kid can be scoring 100s on quizzes and homework and projects but repeatedly fails the test. [/quote]

Homework and projects are completed at home and parents or a tutor can help. Quizzes - if your child isn’t scoring As on those, that’s a sign. I bet most of the formative stuff wasn’t an actual quiz. Also, a lot of teachers are doing “open note” quizzes.[/quote]

Or, maybe the explanation is, there's a mismatch.[/quote]
