[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually Joe Feldman’s (author of Grading for Equity) research shows it’s an approach that results in less As for white students and less Ds and Fs for non-white students. Also, there is an ongoing debate about the move away from content learning to skills-based learning. I don’t think it’s a good idea and think kids learn less. It does let kids slack off and still do ok in the end.[/quote] Speeches he’s given always note as the first reason equity grading is important is because traditional grading methods hurt kids who can’t do homework because they are watching younger siblings or working. At jmhs, what is the percentage of the student population this specific concern impacts? I’m guessing it is less than 1-2%. It would have to be only kids who either work or watch siblings AND but for the babysitting/work they would be doing their hw. [/quote]
