[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are second quarter grades impacted by the first quarter with the rolling gradebook? Or only the final?[/quote]

Yes, they are.  [/quote]

I don’t get this. Why should a bad test in the first quarter impact your grade in the second quarter? Especially as it’s a totally different unit?[/quote]

There is only 1 grade given per course. You get a single grade for “honors biology”.

In the old system, 4 grades were averaged to get that grade. 1st quarter tests affected that final grade.
In the new system, it’s one massive “quarter”. September tests still affect the end of year grade.[/quote]

That’s absolutely ridiculous! Why should what you do in the first quarter impact all other quarters? Each quarter should be separate.[/quote]

I guess the idea is kids can recover from a bad quarter?[/quote]

Seems like yet another new idea in education that someone came up with who doesn't actually like kids.  Or people in general.[/quote]

You do understand that only the final grade is sent to colleges, right? The interim grades are as they’ve always been informative for the student, parents and teachers. Now you have to understand how to interpret  those iterim grades because they were calculated different when parents went to school. Sheesh. [/quote]
