[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the reasons that teachers don't give feedback anymore is due to SIS. I'm a HS teacher and also a HS parent. SIS has helped in so many ways -- students learn responsibility to monitor their grades, parents have 24/7 access to their kids' grades, teachers don't have to have "mini-conferences" (remember those?) just to tell parents that their kid is doing fine. But that means students check their SIS several times daily. Many parents do, too (ahem).

Academics devolves into a situation where the grade is the only concept that matters. It doesn't matter if you learned something, just how you are doing in SIS. [/quote]

Guilty! I look at SIS A LOT! I had no idea teachers could see how much! I also have ADHD which is one of the reasons I look a lot. I often forget what it said and I have multiple kids in FCPS[/quote]

This is about college competition. Nothing to do with "the grade" and caring about learning less. Colleges are expensive and difficult to get into. Most people trust that their high schooler will learn something. The systems are also so confusing that it doesn't lead to anyone understanding the grading. One teacher sends out a weekly SIS statement. You'd think they'd all do it so they wouldn't get so many issues down the road, but they don't.[/quote]
