Are we really doing students any favors with this

[dpr112yme]

Under the new system, a student’s behavior is factored out of his or her grades. The school system also now recommends that teachers do not factor homework into overall grades or give students marks below 50%. Baltimore Co. Public Schools revises grading system, factoring out homework and behavior
behavior aside, some students score better on home work than tests,,,,,I think putting so much emphasis on tests piles on the pressure......if ya mess up on one its awfully hard to dig out..even if the lowest you can get is 50%.....This is not innovation...spend too much time trying to disguise teacher and student failure in order to get more tax dollars.

From the looks of it, where do you see America heading towards with Education and the Children's Employments in 20-30 years from now?
