[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe there will be more support when this is rolled out across FCPS.[/quote]

More objections is also a possibility. [/quote]

I meant more support for the people frustrated by SBG.[/quote]

I agree, it is just so confusing. But one of my main frustrations with SBG is that it is only at a few schools. If it was implemented county-wide, I’d be less concerned at least about the impact to college admissions.[/quote]

Seeing teachers doing SBG, when based on 4 point scale, giving 4 only if 100% and drop to 3 if not 100%.  Not hearing teachers giving in-between scores, but even if do, isn’t it disheartening for kids that unless do 100% on an assignment, can’t get an “A”?  Or is that not how working for other teachers/classes?

This has been DCs experience.  If it’s not 100%, you can’t get an A/4.  And many teachers do not use + and - grades, so if your average on a skill is a 3.7, which is an A-, you will receive a grade of B/3 on the skill because you didn’t “master” it.  It’s incredibly frustrating. [/quote]
