[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9th grader’s teacher told his class that she’ll “make sure the test doesn’t negatively  impact their grade.” Not sure how she’ll do that? [/quote]

If the scores scores come back before EOY, she can boost non-A grade to A for quarter.

This wouldn't help semester-AA  or BA + MISA-D students. She may be betting that won't be needed.

I refuse to believe that MISA will give such low grades across the board, in it's first year. [/quote]

Y[b]eah - this is likely my kid. High A in Q3, high A in Q4 so far but likely bombed the test (according to his own assessment)[/b][/quote]

Same for my kid -- high A in Q3 and Q4, also feels like she bombed the test. Maybe they'll grade it on a curve?[/quote]

Isn’t it 10 percent of the grade for each quarter? 20 percent total. With a high A in each quarter she should be fine.[/quote]

No--what I saw was a weird chart akin to MCPS's already-weird Q1=A + Q2=B gives you a semester A.  But the chart had three columns instead of two, with MISA as one of the columns.  I can't find it and don't recall details, but I recall that Q1=A + Q2=B+MISA=D gives you a semester B.[/quote]
