[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone believe the SB will actually listen to teachers? I'm nervous they're really just interested in the progressive fad of the day. I have no faith in them.[/quote]

You are correct.[/quote]

Our school board members mean well. Some are even reasonably good (mary is very good). But they only seem to know what Syphax tells them.  They're not listening to teachers and they dismiss parent voices that cause cognitive dissonance. Grading for Equity is absolutely the latest fad with the flimsiest of bases.  Why APS is charging full steam ahead rather than analyzing what teachers have reported where it's been partially rolled out and critically considering its claim and thin evidence is beyond me.

Lucy Caulkins hurt those kids who needed real reading instruction and not. Some of them are still in APS. But the  damage was largely contained to students who needed more help.  Grading for Equity will be far more damaging to APS and to more students.  Teachers don't like it, parents don't like it, we'll see the evidence in SOLs and other assessments that the claims don't hold up to scrutiny. [/quote]
