[quote=Anonymous]The below piece, I am cutting and pasting from another thread.  I really think that if we are not honest with how we measure what has been learned, then there will be really little motivation among students to actually learn. Please rip the bandage. Show me where the gaps are so that parents can become partners in the education of our children.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an MCPS parent, I would be willing to pay for my HS student to take a final exam on a weekend.  Can this option be available to parents who care for and want this final exam?

To make it equitable - do not include this result in GPA and parents can fundraise for any non-paying FARMS students who want to take the test.

+1.  The question of grades really is distinct from whether we should have final exams.  Students need to learn how to take final exams and to maintain a grasp of what is learned over the course of a year.  We are doing them a disservice by not making sure they have these experiences.[/quote][/quote]
