My kids are beyond college.
But I’m so glad this topic came up. I never looked at “school grading”. Because I decided to short circuit the system by way of private school.
But I’m beginning to understand the importance for students and parents the more I research.
Locally it’s been “school 1 got an A and school 2 got a D” as an example,
Here’s what happens–“BTW, we’re discarding all state testing standards because they aren’t working”.
Let’s get rid of that program.
Why? Cause students can’t learn? (need to work on that). Or you can’t teach? (we’ll work on that too.)
My “mom” mission was to save my kids from some educational disaster. I didn’t have time to make changes within the system because those kid hours are short.
But now I do have some time. And the more I know the better.
