[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More optics without substance. They should be looking at the academics and the barriers to academic success. [/quote] +1. Wouldn’t it be awesome if they devoted this time to be sure kids knew math?[/quote] I can still remember when they got rid of the midterm and final exams in math - coincidentally at the same time it showed that most were failing algebra on the exams but the grades didn’t reflect it. Over the years, grading changes continued to make it easier to obtain higher grades and hide whether or not they learned adequate content. The policies also incentivized less effort and attendance in Q2 and Q4. While not the magic answer to all problems, incrementally hopefully this will improve things or at least get things back on track. [/quote] Many teachers have weekly quizzes and regular tests but they never tell the kids when [/quote]
