[quote=Anonymous]The discussion has been good with the exception of one person committing a logical fallacy: Ad Hominem. I notice that proponents of SBG don't have much to back up what they are saying, and they can't answer specific questions: "I'll get to that" or "to answer the question..." but what follows is not an answer just a word salad to burn the clock. The anonymous poster goes a step further calling us crazy and stupid, says she personally doesn't care either way, yet seems to have a vested interest.

The poster that has called us "morons," "chicken littles" and "crazy," and has said not to worry about our kids' education because her kid said he's doing just fine. She's not worried about anyone else. It's just a grading system.

We've pointed out specific reasons for concern: 1) SBG may demotivate students and lead them to procrastinate and learn later. 2)SBG may unfairly impact high-achieving students and devalue their hard work 3) SBG appears to impact students' mental health leading to frustration and anxiety 4) SBG may hide the achievement gap and result in passing on students thus robbing them of the education they deserve 5)SBG as a grading system may not motivate anyone to try their best

This next SB election is very important.[/quote]
