[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been very stressful for my kid with ADHD. He still has high As in classes where the teachers have normal, predictable grading practices and are clear about assignments. But for a coupe of classes his grade is a total mystery until the last couple of weeks of the quarter. He is very smart and very hardworking and I think it’s pretty unfair to crate such stress and to hold the kids accountable but not the teachers. [/quote]

What if your kid had final exams like most school districts? Stop coddling your kid. And MCPS can’t hold teachers accountable for the 10 day grading rule because they know most grading is done at home outside of work hours. If you want more prompt grading and teachers being held accountable, you should advocate for more planning time for teachers [/quote]

I’m the PP you addressed. My kid does great on normal exams that test knowledge and preparation. He does not do well keeping track of the huge volume of random assignments, projects, and worksheets that are posted in all different locations (or not posted anywhere) and graded weeks or months after the fact. I have good executive functioning and I cannot even really help him (much less coddle him!) [/quote]
