[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]How is getting a P like an getting an A? [/b] 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]

A P is not like getting an A. A P is like getting a P. If you can do what you're supposed to be able to do, you get a P. That's why, if you're supposed to know your multiplication facts, and you get 100% on your test of multiplication facts, you get a P -- because you know what you're supposed to know.

As for what teachers know about the student -- maybe teachers base their assessments of their students solely on their students' grades from last year, but I doubt it.[/quote]
