[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could we get back to the point that these report cards basically do not provide any meaningful information for parents. In the absence of unit tests and report cards that have any kind of objective measures of achievement or progress, aren't we left with the subjective assessments of teachers and principals. Why do we want an educational system that evaluates our children on these types of subjective measures? Makes no sense. Seems to me that MCPS is setting itself up for lots of future litigation as well - subjective standards create uncertainty which can lead to lawsuit.[/quote] My daughter brought home various quizzes or tests that say things at the top like, "measurement and data, grade 2 marking period 2, task 2". And she has a grade on those tests. They are not the big unit tests we saw last year, and there appear to be several of them per marking period. But it is an objective test. Her math grade wasn't pulled out of thin air.[/quote]
