[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were told about it at last week's TWD. It takes 2 minutes to auto fill down "S" for satisfactory and change the 3-5 kids to "N" (U? Whatever unsatisfactory is) who have a dozen missing assignments or who I have to redirect 14 times a period. I think it adds approximately 0 value though. If a kid is getting an "N", I've already communicated home about behaviors or recorded missing assignments in SIS.

I was surprised to learn it was new for some middle schools though. When I taught middle school it was always required.[/quote]

Are you saying 2 minutes to complete for 150 students? Still 2 minutes too much, still worthless and doesn’t count the additional time to answer the questions the scoring will likely prompt from students and teachers.[/quote]

Makes me wonder if it’s worth keeping at the ES level. [/quote]

That all depends if they transfer over to a gradebook with real grades.  This is all they had in the younger grades but it was subjective.  I think anything subjective should go.  It should be gone in 6th grade is the teachers have actual grades, like they do in MS and HS.  They did at our school and posted on Schoology.  They we don’t need this. [/quote]

I assume the 6th graders taking algebra have to have a “real grade”. Does that show up differently from the other grades on their quarterly progress report?

I taught ES grade levels and would have preferred to have a percentage based grading system: [/quote]
