[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's all too subjective for me. P seems to lump in any kids that in the old world would have had a C or above. Some of us would like our kids to know how good it feels to excel and be recognized for it, like a good old fashioned A. The fact that an ES is a unicorn makes it impossible for our kids to feel like they excelled. Instead, a P means you just made it over the bar. When you have a lazy, smart kid, that means she does just enough to get over the bar and no more because there is nothing else to earn, when an ES is a unicorn. If you can never get one, why bother trying any harder than it takes to get a P?[/quote] PP here. BTW, giving out only Ps means that the achievement gap is lessened, because all the Ps can counteract the Ns. Just saying that this ridiculous grading system seems politically driven.[/quote]
