[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly is wrong with students continuing to work on and be assessed on skills they haven't yet mastered throughout the year, rather than one-test-and-done? What is wrong with grades reflecting the end of the year accomplishment? [/quote] Because here is what the outcome of this system is in practice versus how it is described. Kid A who fails all year gets an easy assignment at the end of the 4th quarter and gets a C for the course. Kid B has an A all year long and misses a “key” 4th quarter assignment because they are on a college visit or is ill and they then get a B for the course. So those with As now beware and stay on top of every assignment or see that A slide to a B. [/quote]
