In the fifth episode of the third season of the TidePod, we talk to two teachers to understand their perspectives on the recent grade change policies enacted in Montgomery County Public Schools. Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve seen many changes made within our school district, MCPS, to accommodate student needs in a new learning setting. Most recently, MCPS has altered its grading policy, allowing for 16 total assignments and credit for late work. In this episode, we will be examining the perspective of two RM teachers on the new policy, discussing their thoughts and its impacts on their jobs.
