[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]26 pages and still not one bit of evidence this SBG program helps anyone. It's also the second or third time the topic was discussed and no actual positives written there either. [/quote]

I have written it twice. Your choice to ignore. For my kid: now is compelled to do more than what he's only required to do; hi study habits have greatly improved; he is actually mastering material before moving on and then looping back.

But it falls on deaf ears because some parents just want grade inflation and will freak out when their kids get to college and those "buffers" no longer exist.[/quote]

How? What grade? What classes? He's a unicorn in the school I guess. This isnt a typical experience when talking to locsl parents.Teachers aren't even grading practice work and quizzes lhalf the time. What in SBG is helping him do more and increase study habits? I also don't understand the last part. My kid hasn't had a class where course content and testing is actually different than before SBG so mastery and looping back would need to be explained further. I haven't seen these comments before either. They need more detail for me to understand if his teachers are doing something different and why your kid is excelling compared to before. I assume he is a junior or senior and has experienced both methods?[/quote]
