[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious, what do you all think grades should reflect? Mastery? Effort? Growth? Some combo of those? [/quote]

I come down on the mastery side. We are trying to create an educated populace. But then (unlike many on this board) my kids aren’t in private school because I think it gives them some kind of competitive edge. We are there for the smaller classes and outstanding experience, not trying to get into some mythical “best college.”[/quote]

I come down on the mastery side, too, but does it feel right for a kid to whom everything comes easily to mail in a lackluster effort and still get an A, and another kid who started at a D level mastery but moved up to a C level mastery, to get a C?

If there were to be a mix of growth and mastery, would you see it falling at 25% growth, 75% mastery? [/quote]

A good amount of grading has nothing to do with mastery of a subject and a lot to do with executive function skills and reading a teacher right.[/quote]
