[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent here. It has to change. DD's AP Calc BC teacher warned us at BTSN that our kids, maybe for the first time in their lives, would have Bs. And it's true - DD has an A for the semester, but a B for the last quarter. Her first B in math. I love this new grading policy, BTW. It's so much more fair than the previous one.[/quote] Explain that to me like I'm five. Are you one of these people who think grading needs to be on a bell curve to be "fair?"[/quote] PP you replied to. I hated the old system of using quarter letter grades to determine semester letter grades. That's not granular enough. It's much more accurate to calculate the average of the number grade for each quarter to get the semester grade, and then convert that to a letter. Ideally, we wouldn't even have letter grades. We would just stick to numbers. This is how most of the world does it. I don't know what you're referring regarding bell curves. [/quote]
