[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s less obvious with SBG because of all the fake practice grades. This is not my first child in high school and I’ve never seen 3 grades total for 3 quarters. [/quote]

At the very least Madison needs to adhere to the minimum number of assignments and stop pretending that grading one assignment by 4 sections somehow meets the assignment guidelines for FCPS. Talk about checked out classes. I think the guidelines were 4 graded assignments a quarter. This is not overkill for teachers. Give me a break that they are overworked grading 2 assignments a month.[/quote]

FCPS requires 9 grades per quarter. But the “practice grades” are allowed to count for these in Madison, even though they aren’t graded and don’t count (these are always just As for completion.) So you can end up having just 3-4 real grades per quarter. [/quote]

So there should be 9 separate assignments on different days graded throughout the quarter.  This is not terribly hard. Each quarter is about 45 days long. That is at least 35 days without assessments of any kind.[/quote]
