Let me correct this before someone attacks!!

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, when Johnny Beebop thinks he can sleep through a test and still earn a 50%, we are thinking of the kids when we complain of these unethical practices that are killing academic stamina.

You know that is not true right?  The 50% floor is only when a good faith attempt is made.  You can not just scribble two words and get 50%.  You can not sleep through a test.  50% on a test is still a grade killer.  The practice is also used outside of MCPS.[/quote]

Listen, genius, I don’t know you’re deal but every zero I added to my gradebook was changed to a 50%.

I am moving my family to a place where this bullshit 50% rule is NOT a practice.

Maybe you simply don’t get it, but the 50% rule erodes education & creates apathy.

Do us all a favor if you’re an educator - leave the profession. [/quote][/quote]

My kids have gotten zeros for projects that are not turned in or say they didn't read the whole assignment and missed the jist of it or did it totally wrong.  Hope you can find a place where you are happy.[/quote]

I am.

We're moving. I have a job in a smaller system where autonomy is respected and teachers are treated as professionals.  And this mess with Discovery validated my decision to make a major life change.

My children will be exposed to TRUE community is a smaller setting where sitting in front of a Chromebook isn't the norm.

I will echo another PP - that if I sit around and accept this BS, I am part of the problem.  I cannot live with myself.

sad how so many people cannot see OUTSIDE of MCPS, thinking it's the only system around

Sometimes less is more. I've been an educator for over 20 years, and I've seen my fair share of unethical practices.  But now that these practices are the norm, there's no turning back.  So I'm running to protect my professional integrity and my children's education.
