[quote=Anonymous][quote]Agreed. Grades are not given for ability, they are given for demonstrated performance in school. Sure, she can comprehend what she reads, but if she doesn't complete the work that demonstrates that comprehension, she won't get a P. [/quote] Hmmm. I have to take issue with this. There is more than one way to demonstrate reading comprehension in school. One way is through a piece of classwork with questions (that is not called a "test" but apparently is used to substitute as a test). Another way might be through class discussion, I would hope? Other interactions between teacher/student? If the only way that teachers are going to grade is based on scores on discrete pieces of classwork, then why not just call the classwork a "test" and explain clearly how grades are calculated? (if indeed they are based only on test scores) [/quote]
