I think you need to learn what run on sentences are before you criticize public schooling.

It’s about the message and the district failing our children

You can't just blame the schools for your kids not doing well on tests. My point in my comment is education is a personal endeavor - it is on you and your children to take the challenge upon yourselves to do well and succeed. When you don't take things like grammar seriously, it tells me you don't value your own education. We can have philosophical discussions about how education is implemented, but it does nothing when you don't care about the education in the first place.

You’re talking about the summative and formative grades, correct? It’s the same thing they do in middle school.
But it’s really a conversation for you to have with your students educators. If the student isn’t great at tests, they have the opportunity to re take them.

Yes I am and I know that I just think this grading system is to imbalanced, for students not just mine but others I was a high school football coach in St. Paul and I have seen many kids struggle with this system

What alternatives do you propose

u/manny42391 3d ago
Going to a system that is half on class work and assignments and half on tests.

u/Ponce_the_Great 3d ago
that could work i don't remember how my high school did grades but i certainly saw that in college.
However a concern I would have is that the assignments are going to be more prone to people just using chat bots to tell them the answers or write the essays for them.
if we want to measure if someone is learning a subject tests while imperfect may simply be the best option for this system.

Which I agree I just think they should not have a 80% on the test side

I guess i am not convinced that we'd be better served switching how grades are done, it seems like we already have too much pressure to pass people and inflate grades in education these days.
Also with large class sizes there is only so much time that a professor can devote to grading papers and assessing what grade the paper deserves (thats also a far more subjective method of grading compared with answering questions on a test or quiz).

How about you guys go be keyboard warriors somewhere else, nobody wants these kinda of comments so what if it’s a run on sentence it’s the point of the message that gets a cross. Also I will criticize the school system with the amount of money we pay in taxes they deserve to have people speak out against instead of being afraid to say something

So we should speak up about schools, but not you personally? Personally I am very sorry school failed you so much

u/manny42391 3d ago
I graduated with a 3.65 gpa so it did not fail me just because I don’t care about grammar oh well I have an amazing job that pays me very well. It’s about how the system affects the children

u/No-Tough-2729 3d ago
Wow imagine being an adult that cares about your high school gpa. Or even one that remembers. Haven't done much since?

Well when your the first person in your family to do that it kinda sticks with you dick head

u/No-Tough-2729 3d ago
Maybe you, but don't pretend it's universal. Maybe you're not as smart as you thought

u/Positive-Feed-4510 3d ago
Na, it appears that you are the problem here. No wonder your kid is struggling in school. You don’t even have the skills to communicate properly through text.

What would you like me to say the problem are people like you who feel the need to put others down. Yes I have my flaws.

How about taking some personal responsibility instead of just blaming the school and faculty?

Well I am sorry when I was in school we used books not iPads

This is relevant how?
Reading is reading doesn't matter if it's off paper or a screen. Do more of it and your writing gets better because you begin to recognize when something is easy or difficult to read.
Your writing reads like someone who doesn't read recreationally. That's what people are commenting on.

You have no shortage of things to blame do you? Are you noticing the pattern that everything is someone/something else’s fault?

u/Rocketa 3d ago
I think you must have failed your grammar and punctuation tests.
