[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parent has already admitted that they don’t know how PP and AT grades work. An above poster explained it (though asking your child first would have been better). Sounds like we can end this thread without bashing any teachers as there is no indication that late entering has anything to do with this situation.[/quote]

I'm not the OP and also have no idea what a PP or AT grade is or how they work.  Why don't you enlighten us.[/quote]

Practice Preparation grades are worth 10% , All Task grades are worth 90%

PP are for completion 
AT are for accuracy

That means ALL PP points added together make 10 % and ALL AT points added together are worth 90%.

Thank you teachers for all the hard work you do. I know that the Gradebook does the math automatically and that it's not your fault. [/quote]

Is there somewhere where MCPS documents this where parents can read it?  I'm NOT new to MCPS and have never seen this before.[/quote]

They review this every single year at back to school night. [/quote]

[b]No, they don't review "PP" and "AT" at Back to School night.[/b]  And the previous poster hasn't attended every back to school night to know what teachers talk about.  One teacher this year, spent 8 of the 10 minutes talking about Taylor Swift and her links to the curriculum.  Which was fine, but let's not presume that every teacher does this.  Or that every parent attends Back to School night. [/quote]

My school requires it because otherwise you get emails like “Brightleigh has three As and 1 D on that test you make her take the morning after her dance recital. How that that make her overall grade a D?”

It’s also a countywide grading policy available online. [/quote]
