[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's truly amazing - DCUM constantly complains about grade inflation and how no one can stand out because everyone gets an A. DCUM constantly reminds us that "Cs get degrees" is a saying because people used to actually get Cs.

But the minute a teacher actually hands out Cs, DCUM complains that the teacher is grading students on their actual performance and has high standards.[/quote]

For the millionth time -- ITS ABOUT CONSISTENCY!!!

No one is saying that some kids don't deserver a C or worse. We are saying have it consistent across classes that teach the same material. Why is that hard for you to understand? You resort to the "DCUM parents are so vile" and can not actually debate the merits of having common consistency from one teacher to the next.[/quote]

It is very consistent at my school. We all use the exact same rubrics (that college board creates, since we are utilizing old AP questions for tests).  Any tests that we are unsure of how to score (rare, the rubrics are generally quite clear) we bring to CT meetings to discuss. FWIW, this is exactly how AP exams will be scored too.

Could it be that this is happening behind the scenes and you aren't aware?[/quote]
