[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:09. Your argument is a non sequitur. Leave college out of it. High school is not college. Of course there are things high schools can do.[/quote]

Wait!  I thought part of your arguments for why SBG is soooo bad is that it isn't like what kids will experience in college!  But, now when I mention that failure to grade assignments happens both in HS and in college, you are telling me to stop talking about college.  Hmmm.

The point still stands that SBG really has nothing to do with a particular teacher only grading three assignments/quarter.  My kid's teachers at Madison seem to be capable of grading more than 3 assignments per quarter.  Maybe it's the teacher that's the problem.

Someone above just showed you how it does. There are significantly less grades and assignments graded or even assigned with SBG.

I don't know who you are referring to about sbg and college. High school is a distinct time of life not to be confused with college and it has a different purpose. To educate all kids in America to a minimally competent academic level before adulthood if not going to college or prepare them for college.  College is completely different because it's a focused study for adults mainly specific to a career choice and requires a selection to attend by the applicant and college whereas high school is for all kids within a boundary with no application needed other than specialty programs.

It's been 2 years. People still hate SBG. There is not one positive to the program.[/quote]
