[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with no written feedback is that kids ALSO are not getting feedback in the form of regular grades and tests. For whatever reason spelling and grammar tests, and in-class essay tests, are considered passe. When I went to school, students could essentially self-monitor to understand the content expected to be learned and then see where they missed expectations. Getting 8/10 on a spelling test doesn’t require any feedback.[b] Having a sample essay to refer to in a textbook gives you the means to assess your own performance. [/b]Now it seems to me that teaching focuses on vague concepts without giving kids a way to understand themselves if they have learned. [/quote] Because MCPS does not want to spend money on textbooks. MCPS prefers to spend money on other things. [/quote]
