[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a student masters the material in a class and meets the criteria, they get an A. That is how it works. What planet is the OP on?[/quote] Because of they way grades are now calculated, I have no faith that an A means students have mastered the information. In DCPS, HS grades are 40% assessments. (Minimum 4/quarter) 50% practice and application (Minimum 5/quarter) 10% participation. (Minimum 2 observations/ quarter ) A lazy teacher has the discretion to have each assignment/test worth 10% of a student's grade for the QUARTER...talk about high stakes. [/quote]
