[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not just end of year county assessments. Class tests, quizzes, mid term exams and in-class writing assignments. Its ridiculous.

I've seen it in elementary school for my younger child now too. DD received an ES in one writing section and an I in another writing section on the report card. I have never seen anything other than a P on anything that comes home. When I asked the teacher she said the in class work is different than what is sent home and I could come in to see it. The assignments were very different from anything we had seen. She said it was MCPS policy for graded work to be kept at the school until the grade cards were submitted. I had to make a special request for her to send the writing work home at the end of the year. She normally just throws them in the trash the next year. Oh and she never mentioned any of this at the parent teacher conferences, or back to school night earlier in the year. MCPS sucks. [/quote]

Must be school or teacher specific.  Every Friday we have gotten a folder full of class work, quizzes and homework, all marked so we can tell what was expected -- with a whole range of scores, including I (when something wasn't right, so we can see what can be fixed/improved), up to ES.  Is this unusual?  It's been like this ever since we started in MCPS, for a couple different elementary schools (home school and HGC).  Middle school has been a little different, but not much.  We get nearly daily updates on grades through Edline.  If a test shows incomplete understanding, our kid gets the test back and can petition to retake it after showing effort to attain better understanding.  We have to sign off on everything as parents and participate in getting our child ready for a retake.  Not feeling in the dark at all.  Frankly, more information and feedback than we can process.[/quote]
