[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The MCPS Quicknotes says there have not been changes to the 50% rule:

"Currently, there are no changes in the regulation to the 50 percent rule. Revisions have been made to Regulation IKA-RA, Grading and Reporting to include the updated requirements for End-of-Course exams and practices that notify students about missing assignments and opportunities for reassessment. Please visit this website to read the revised Regulation IKA-RA."

To be clear, the 2-way communication requirement was removed last year, per the grading memo, but not all schools implemented it. Putting last years memo into the updated regulation last fall, wasn’t a “change”, except that now schools were asked to actually implement that change if they hadn’t.[/quote]

Then this MCPS communication is confusing the matter. They know many schools didn’t implement the change in policy last year, so the lede should not be that the rule hasn’t changed. It should be that a new rule was passed last year and is being implemented this year in all schools. What they wrote is going to make it harder for schools to  give zeros, not easier. (Maybe that is the point? Or it’s just incompetence.)[/quote]
