[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question is regarding the new elementary grading system.  Being proficient is fine but the level of proficiency is not described. And if they are going into the A-F grade in middle school then they will all be so confused. As far as grading is concerned I feel like it's a system I would use for kindergartners. Unfortunately I don't know how to compare the curriculum since my kids started with it. 
For the person who pointed out the political agenda, there is no way this curriculum could close the gap. you are comparing oranges to apples. I "memorized" my multiplication tables, my son "understands" them. As far as that is concerned I think he is getting a much better education here.[/quote]

Yes, the level of proficiency is described. Start with the curriculum guides:

(Or do you mean that MCPS does not specify how proficient you have to be in order to be proficient? In which case, my advice is that you ask the teacher.)

And no, they will not be confused by letter grades in middle school. Or do you think that we should start giving letter grades in preschool so that they won't be confused by letter grades in elementary school?[/quote]
