[quote=Anonymous][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]

Also your post is very derogatory. You can't expect respect when you label other parents this way and if you had just stuck to actual examples verses [b]name calling[/b] you would have gotten more respect. Parents just want to game the system is all you seem to regurgitate despite this program being a colossal failure throughout the US and editorials written about how the grading is actually gaming the system to bring more kids to the middle. Parents and teachers and kids have laid out multiple issues with the system here and all over the US. You are debasing them. High School isn't college. Middle school isn't high school. Elementary school isn't middle school. Preschool isn't elementary school. They don't have to be equal. I want my kid prepared for college as the next step, not to actually be in college. There is a difference.[/quote]

PP didn't call anyone names. Some of the earlier PPs did though. Why didn't you call them out?
