The principal from Loudoun you’re referring to is the current principal of Herndon MS, not HS. She is terrible

Special Education department is a mess. Tochterman the Shoplifter is the AP and administrator of Special Education at Herndon.

Questionable staffing and hiring practices of that entire department.

Will these loud parents be taking the retakes? I don’t get how the parents have anything to do with the grade.

Nope it just evens the playing field. It allows the low achieving kids to get D’s and maybe Cs instead of failing while the high achieving kids scores go down from As to Ba and Cs.

Madison principal also implemented on her own - no one made her - Gatehouse did not make her do this. She deserves full credit for her mess.

Is standard based instruction the same as standards based grading that has all the Madison threads? So Madison was required to do it by FCPS and part of test/review of it where they had feedback meetings, but Herndon principal implemented on her own?
