[quote=Anonymous]I think the HS issues are pretty completely different than the ES issues. I attended MCPS HS in 1993-1997 - there were no A- or B+ then either, and there was no class rank. The only one of the things mentioned that actually changed is the final exams. I personally think it would be good for kids to experience a few 3 hour comprehensive exams before starting college, but I understand why the change was made given how much extra "high stakes testing" kids are spending time on now and given that AP and IB exams are much more common now. The ES testing is confusing. I think it's good to recognize that data can provide helpful information and guide individualized instruction. But keeping track of all the different types of testing and switching this one out for that one is just impossible to keep track of as a parent. I think they change too much and consistency year to year is clearly by the central office. [/quote]
