[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And change.org petition to expand it to all FCPS high schools. I can't wait to see all the parents and teachers sign on that sign on and their reasons for it benefitting students. Let me guess. It let's my child spend more time on his college football prospects. It let's my child come have more time to babysit their siblings. [b]It let's me have more time at home with my family so that I don't have to grade at home. [/b]There is not a single academic benefit to the system. [/quote]

What makes you think teachers are in favor of this? Maybe some are, such as the instructional coaches whose bread and butter it is to force feed this stuff. Most of us have just been told we're switching and we're supposed to educate ourselves on our own time on how to do it correctly. I personally think that there is a difference between the kid who masters what I teach the first time around and the one who takes four tries and that should be reflected to some degree at least in their grades.[/quote]
