Grading system at Harrell Horne Integrated School. I started to doubt about the grading system of Harrell Horne Inegrated School when I got my son's second quarter report card and yet I found a lot of my son's activities left unchecked. How did they come up with the grades without even checking the activities? The school's explanation made me regret more why I enrolled my son there.
For the LAS or written worksheets which is 30% of the total grade, regardless if the score is 0 or perfect, what they look after is if the child did his work without a need for prompting from the teacher. So even if my son got perfect score, if he had to play around first before answering his worksheet, his grade will be low. Even if the child gets 0, but if the child just sits still and do as told, then a high grade will be given. I saw their grade guideline, sad I was not able to ask for a copy. 5 if no need for teacher prompting, then 4, and the lowest is 1, if the teacher keeps on prompting the student to do his work.
This, I found in Deped Kindergarten Curriculum Guide, page 9. It is part of Character and Values Development (Personal Values - Responsibility) -
"The child takes on responsibility and accomplishes these as best he/she can.
*Does his/her share of work in the classroom.
*Does and finishes assigned tasks without prompting.
How come they made it as a major basis in grading a student totaling to 30%?
