[quote=Anonymous]Where is the (non-anecdotal) data that grades are dropping? From my (anecdotal) view as a math teacher, grades are the same as they always are, except I have a few less Fs/few more Ds from the 60% threshold. I do have a handful of kids who probably would have had As in the old system who now have B+ grades, because they get C+s on all tests and the formative grades pull up to a B+ instead of an A now, but as a math person that seems appropriate to me. A student who can only demonstrate proficiency on 77% of the material should not have an A, no matter how hard they work. My grade is supposed to be the % of material the student has mastered, not their work ethic. (Which I wish could be a separate score because I think that is valuable information to have/share, but not what our grades are supposed to measure)[/quote]
