[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think they should bring back final exams. I think it's a disservice to our students who are unprepared when they go off to college.[/quote] DD is a college sophomore and while she has "finals" many are not cumulative. Midterms occur throughout the semester and there are several (so two or three mid-terms plus a final), not just one midterm and one final. Many classes have projects or papers and no finals. Things are changing in colleges too. (That being said, I'm all for MCPS using some sort of consistent assessment across the county for HS courses- finals, quarterly assessments, benchmark assessments, whatever they want to call them and how ever frequent, but something that would help ensure all kids with high grades are learning a base level of content in these courses) [/quote]
