[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the parent of a rising 9th grader. The removal of older grades in SIS is one of those umbrella additions that really is not at the core of creating grades based on skills. Before parents and kids could see geades for practice quizzes first attempt and second attempt if a retake was taken for summatives and if your school followed FCPS's guidelines you knew a retake would only bring the summative grade up to an 80. You could follow every part of the learning and with retakes only earning a B there was no worry that a child would show up as a straight A student for something they were drugging with.

Now grades get replaced or aren't shown at all except the final best grade and there seems to be no limit to the top grade you can get with a retake. It's one of these umbrella inclusions that they somehow associate with SBG but really doesn't fit the original purpose of SBG which was to have more accurate skills grading.[/quote]

This is a good thing, though. We want our children to master the material. That’s the point of school, not to create some bell curve of achievers and losers. [/quote]
