[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, PP it doesn't work that way. Studious kids want to know what their grade is at all times and will do all the work. They don't appreciate having their grades changed so regularly. Kids who want to get out of work will see the practice grades don't mean anything and won't do the work. Human nature hasn't changed just because someone came up with a new grading concept.[/quote]

Yes! And if more schools were implementing this there would be a giant uproar.

My child is at Irving MS (West Springfield feeder) and they are doing SBG in all classes this year and it's awful. I'm really hoping that WSHS isn't doing it too. My student is frustrated that he doesn't know where he stands with any of his grades. It gives the teacher way too much power to give the student the grade he/she "thinks they deserve" rather than basing it on metrics, test scores, homework, etc. Any grade can just be replaced up OR down.

All parents should be grateful to the parents piloting SBG who are speaking up and upset with the grading system. [/quote]

Keep voting for the “progressive” candidates for School Board and you’ll get more of these new approaches to try and manufacture “equal outcomes for all.”  [/quote]
