[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a school board work session in the fall where the board was told that a group of school administrators is studying grading policy and will recommend changes later this year. It was so vague - why are they doing this? What is it based on? What is skills based and what is standards based? I am going to pay attention to see what the group recommends and hopefully they will share their research.[/quote]

Equity.

This is about equity.

Push down the kids so everyone achieves the same mediocre results.

Fcps school board does not want a world class school system which ranks as the best in the state.

Fcps school board wants an equity based school system where everyone has the same mediocre results and no one excels.

Individual principals and many of our wonderful teachers still want a system of excellence, rigor and consequences.

This is a top down leadership issue.

Your billions of dollars of taxpayer funded fcps budget hard at work eliminating excellence and achievement for equity.[/quote]
