Exactly but then it will be a new change somewhere else.  It is obvious they got rid of finals because of the constant decline in scores.  [/quote]
They got rid of the math final exams because people were complaining about the abundance of exams.  So much misinformation going around... sheesh.

http://news.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/staff-bulletin/mcps-voices-on-final-exams-and-assessment-strategy/

"In response to school and community interest in reducing testing and increasing instructional time, MCPS is revising its assessment strategy. This new assessment strategy has been endorsed by the Montgomery County Board of Education and includes a plan to eliminate all two-hour semester final exams in high school courses beginning in 2016–2017, restoring at least two weeks of instructional time throughout the school year. [u]These exams would be replaced with centrally developed marking period assessments, which can be given during regular class periods.[/u]"[/quote]
