[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is a perfect example of “FCPS can’t win”.

When homework was cut, parents cried that their children are getting a subpar education.

When homework is required, parents cry that the workload is too much.

When retakes are allowed to 100, parents cried that their students who got As the first time around can’t stand out.

When retakes are capped at 90, parents cry that their A- children can’t get As.

When teachers made classwork 50% of the grade, parents complained that their kid who knew the content was penalized for not doing busy work.

When gradebooks were mandated 70/30, parents complained that it’s too much pressure on assessments for their students.

When teachers only put in a few assignments, there’s too much weight on a single task.

When teachers put in daily assignments, the workload is too high.

When it was quarterly gradebooks, parents complained that 4th quarter was weighted the same but had barely any assignments in it. They complained the final grade was a surprise. They complained about end of quarter stress.

When they went to rolling gradebooks, parents complained that kids felt they never got a clean slate to recover from mistakes.

What do you want? What is the ideal system? I don’t think it exists, and each kid can’t have their own personal setup.[/quote]
