[quote=Anonymous]I am an MCPS high school teacher, and what frustrates me the most is that they are asking teachers to lower the expectations that we have already established. As a previous poster said, students will generally raise or lower their performance to meet expectations. My students, at this point in the year, understood my due dates and deadlines clearly and understood that though I am willing to support them in any way I can, I will not change those expectations. So, they were meeting deadlines. Now they are getting the message that they can hand in assignments up to the end of the quarter and my standards no longer mean anything. I am already seeing a drop in assignments being turned in this week, just since these changes were announced. [/quote]
