[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is getting a P like an getting an A? If a P is the meeting the minimum standard, how is that like getting 100% on anything? If you get a P, you have done the minimum necessary to meet the standards set by MCPS. So if the standard is a student has to know their multiplication tables through the number 5, the kid who stumbles through to 5x12 gets the same grade as the kid who sails through 5x12 and also knows the multiplication tables through the number 10. How does the next year's teacher know who needs help with what if there is so wildly different ability gets the same grade.[/quote] If a kid is stumbling through then he would get an I (in progress), not a P. The standards don't dictate how quickly you can multiply 5x5, just that you can do it in a reasonable timeframe, and in the method taught by the teacher. So if one kid can multiply 5x5 in a second, while it takes another kid 3 seconds to do it, they would both get a P.[/quote]
