[quote=Anonymous]There is a presentation tonight at Madison with Rick Wormeli about SBG.  How it will be a compelling presentation and you will see how great the grading is.  You can download the presentation online and it’s crap.  100 slides trying to prove how this is a wonderful system.  So now Madison has to pay for a speaker to convince the community SBG doesn’t suck.  My kid is a student and it’s awful.  Grades are good but they are always trying to understand where they stand, how things will change, what needs to be done with some teachers that just don’t have the bandwidth to help on this.  I don’t blame the teachers.  I blame all the FCPS administrators who not only add more to the teachers plates, but now students as well.  Hey, high school can be stressful enough.  Let’s bring in a new grading system that is so awesome and complex that we can stress you out more.  And hey, if you are having a mental breakdown over it, we offer free online tutoring and mental health help to get you through it!  Great job Madison![/quote]
