That’s of course true. But it begs the point. There are reasons why black students consistently score worse on standardized tests than others. A grading system that takes those reasons and uses them to equalize performance with students with higher scores perpetuates performance disparities. It seems to me that liberal educrats with grading equity are throwing in the towel on rigorous black student academics.Grading of a process lends itself to be subjective. Grading of results on summative assessments tends to be much more objective.
it just means spewing insults makes you feel better and smarter.Doesn't mean I'm wrong
I mostly agree. But a system that measures individual improvement and achievement is not a substitute for whether the student meets objective and standard criteria.Group learning and achieving a certain level of learning within a specified period of time along with assigning grades based upon where a students stands within the group at a particular point in time has drawbacks. Don't think the Portland approach of equitable grading solves these drawbacks.
Nevertheless, I do like some of the ideas in the Portland plan. These include the following: (1) Student grades should reflect individual achievement. (2) Retakes. Allow students to retake assessment or redo assignments and provide multiple opportunities to demonstrate proficiency on learning targets. (3) Emphasize recent assessment data.
In a perfect world we would all be tutored by top notch instructors in various subjects and reach certain levels of achievement at our own pace and skill level.
Wakeboarding accident. He's owning it though.

I'm not sure that document deals with the level of rigor in academic standards. It does focus on the practice of measuring achievement, and attempts to remove unrelated factors from the results. The factory model, one size fits all, theory of education is becoming more obsolete by the year. Our stubborn resistance to change is harming education.That’s of course true. But it begs the point.

Good post, Mr. Montessori.Group learning and achieving a certain level of learning within a specified period of time along with assigning grades based upon where a students stands within the group at a particular point in time has drawbacks.

CoH and BV, in my perfect world a student would have to be tested in some manner periodically in order to measure progress and show areas which need further study and review.Good post, Mr. Montessori.
Ha. I can boress with the best of ‘em There is a time and place for everything.No, just having a little fun.
If you're going to take to calling out insults, you're going to be a very man on this site.

We know that student performance in the US is disgraceful. It’s worse considering the time, effort, and money we devote to education. I don’t think any institution changes more than public education. But what doesn’t change is the basic structure in many locations. The best high schools according to many lists I have seen are the autonomous ones like charters, magnets, private, and other forms of autonomy. . Denver has one of the best in its science and technology charters, started by the gates foundation. Deiscipline and rigor are strong. Minorities attend and flourish. It can be done. Equity grading is not the answer.I'm not sure that document deals with the level of rigor in academic standards.

I know I'm not the "expert" on education that you are, but from what I've seen, charters are little more than money grabs foisted on inner cities from far-away locations. They tend to promise new and exciting strategies, loosen the binds of the union (which allows them to hire unqualified people), then, when the initial bump fades away in about a year, the school returns to norm, and the charter provider moves on to the next town needing marching bands.We know that student performance in the US is disgraceful.

What charters have you seen, and where are they? Two of my grandkids went to a charter through 8th grade. It was excellent. The parents of another grandkid moved to a different school district so another grandkid could attend an autonomous school.from what I've seen, charters are little more than money grabs foisted on inner cities from far-away locations
Try me. Arguing that charter schools are money grabs won’t cut it. The evidence, at least in Colorado, is contrary.know you are incapable, on this board at least, of giving any ground, so this is really a waste of my time and expertise.

Why would I try? You never have on here.What charters have you seen, and where are they? Two of my grandkids went to a charter through 8th grade. It was excellent. The parents of another grandkid moved to a different school district so another grandkid could attend an autonomous school.
I know a couple of things about public education. Outcomes here are not good. Independent and autonomous schools generally have better outcomes than institutional schools. So what if that is a “preconceived“ notion.

Charters are great potential in areas where 'school choice' has robbed public schools of funding. As they stretch into suburban areas, they need families to move, so they're creating unrest.Try me.

If your observation about Indiana charters is accurate, I don’t see how Indiana can be considered an important player.Why would I try? You never have on here.
Oh, and I will admit to only knowing about charters in Indiana. The thing is, this state has kind of been known as a major charter incubator that was recognized nationally for years. Most of what I have seen is out of state businesses come in, make huge promises, put signs in front of their schools trumpeting "Tuition Free Charter" (a total bullshit move right out of the gate, preying on people's ignorance of the fact that no charter school, due to the fact that it is public, charges tuition), hire unqualified people, try to make it on the cheap to improve their profit margin with practices like understaffing, then pack up and sneak away when results are not what were advertised.
I'm glad your grandkids found a good fit.
Not on,y should we have charter schools, I think we should have charter districts. The humongous districts in large cities are part of the problem which makes innovation difficult.Charters are great potential in areas where 'school choice' has robbed public schools of funding.

Heritage Foundation is working hard to defund public schools and push them into their charters.
And yet, it was.If your observation about Indiana charters is accurate, I don’t see how Indiana can be considered an important player.
Of course they are. That’s a good thing. But don’t confuse grading equity with better evaluation methods. According to the Portland material, grading equity means leniency and lower standards in order to accommodate social deficiencies.You think charter schools aren't employing more modern grading and evaluation models?
Where school choice destroyed community schools in urban areas, you might be right.Not on,y should we have charter schools, I think we should have charter districts. The humongous districts in large cities are part of the problem which makes innovation difficult.
Charter districts means more than simply making littles out of big ones. I’m talking about districts with specific areas of concentration such as STEM, fine arts, troubled kids, vocational Ed, college prep and maybe some others.Where school choice destroyed community schools in urban areas, you might be right.
I advocated a long time ago IPS (Indianapolis Public Schools) and other urban schools should be broken up into separate districts. Instead of having them all scrap for resources from a bloated administrative body, they could be paired to divvy up resources and curriculum.
Yeah...magnet schools.Charter districts means more than simply making littles out of big ones. I’m talking about districts with specific areas of concentration such as STEM, fine arts, troubled kids, vocational Ed, college prep and maybe some others.
Charter schools are public schools. Private schools don’t need an approved charter.We already have that here, not only with public schools but also charter schools.
That has nothing to do with what I said. I didn't mention private schools.Charter schools are public schools. Private schools don’t need an approved charter.
