[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid at Yorktown had classes with standards-based grading. It was a joke - little to no homework, endless test corrections allowed. He got A's because he went to class. But then when he got to college and he almost flunked out because he didn't know how to manage his time or study for tests. It's like spoon-feeding - has no relation to the real world and setting them up for failure later on. [/quote] Bingo. These “standards” don’t apply in the real world of higher education and the workplace. They exist solely to game the metrics with which we judge k-12 educational disparities. Which of course are at a basic level, income based. SBG will simply lull kids into underachievement and then shock them when they find out everyone else thinks those standards are bogus. Including admissions officers.[/quote]
