[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Praise effort. [/quote] demand results. [/quote] Actually, i kind of agree with this. I think this "praise effort" trend has created kids who are lazier and who who think they should get rewarded simply for attempting anything, even if they accomplish nothing at all. I think a better response is to praise productivity. Effort without any results is really meaningless. [/quote] Nearly impossible on the ridiculous PIN grading scale that MCPS is using and NO ONE understands, not even the teachers. It is inconsistently applied, and getting a "P", being proficient at the grade level standard, is akin to getting a passing grade, which is good enough. Good enough is not good enough if you are trying to raise a self-driven child. The grading system is in MCPS is going to come back to bite our kids. So is the lack of final exams in high school. MCPS has lost its way. [/quote]
