[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a strange post, how does it negatively effect your child in any way?[/quote]

DP -my kids and many other kids are being damaged by this grading policy. There are parents that know their kids aren’t doing much in class anymore along with lowered expectations of what kids are expected to do at school now. These parents are spending hours trying to teach them at home. Kids learned to be independent and accountable under the old system. SBG does not prepare kids for college or life.

My kid says school is less interesting with SBG - DC does not like seeing everything through the lens of skills, says rubrics are vague, and isn’t learning much.

You ask “what’s the negative impact?” Kids that have already experienced a learning loss during COVID are now experiencing another even more profound one because they are also not learning important skills of independence, resilience and accountability. I would say the only reason it’s not an even bigger disaster is that your average student at Madison doesn’t understand the grading system at all and continues to do the practice because they don’t realize it doesn’t count.

Enough COVID whining. If someone's kid isn't caught up by now, that's on the parents. [/quote]
