[quote=Anonymous]Unless FCPS parents are willing to show up at SB meetings and speak up, this will become permanent at all FCPS schools. The goal is to eventually make grades meaningless and every student applies to college with a portfolio. Then, colleges are supposed to change in order to deal with their unprepared students.  See Calvert’s latest message to parents this week where she mentions colleges changing grading practices and states check out Wormeli’s slide.  Parents have been pushing back on this elsewhere in the country and winning, but they showed up and fought for their kids’ education. A change.org petition and parents’ FB page on this issue in FCPS is in the works.

Here is an article on this amazing and successful group of parents in Dublin, CA. If you scroll to the last part of the video, you can hear parents’ initial questions about SBG. Their change.org petition is truly inspiring.
