[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then ALL grading is crap, right?

I teach high school.  I can honestly say that my B is oftentimes someone else's A.  So while you see As on Lucy Loo Loo's report card, they can mean nothing, as not all teachers embed rigor into their instruction.

ugly truth

But your attitude is ignorant.  It really is.

So instead of talking to your child about what s/he is learning, you focus on the fact that your kid will never earn an ES.

What would you rather see in your child?  an "ability" to spit out facts or the resourcefulness to FIND an answer?

Embrace learning, honey! It never ends!  But you seem to think that an ES is the END ALL!

Wow, not sure where you got all that.  You seem very defensive and hostile.  I didn't say all grading is crap; I said that a grading scale where all students got one of two grades was crap.  See the difference?  I said that the grades weren't giving me any feedback on what she is actually learning.  I talk to her about class; do you really think you can get an accurate self-assessment of what a 10 year old knows by talking to her?  Where did I talk about the ability to "spit out answers"?  I said that as long as my child was learning I was happy.

I didn't say I was against 2.0; honestly it hasn't been around long enough for me to develop an opinion.  I just said that the grading as implemented isn't giving me nearly as much feedback on how my child is doing as the grades last year.  I'm sorry if that offends you so much that you feel the need to launch into a disjointed and petulant rant.
