[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how do they grade 9th grade math under this system? Before, a kid who was above average in an honors class would get a B or a B-, but it would be boosted and an above average non-honors would jus get the B, B-. The difference gets reflected on the transcript, but the non-honors kid still has the B on their report card. Now that all those kids are in the same room, does the teacher just hand out more C-s and Ds to reflect the stark differences between students (the kid would would be getting the A+ in the honors class vs. the kid struggling in the gen class)?[/quote] The obvious answer is that nearly everyone would get an A. They're hardly going to detrack the math, only to give all of the lower performing kids bad grades. There will be absolutely no way to distinguish between a math whiz and a very average kid. [/quote]
