Preliminary Results
Thank you all so very much for your classy class performance today; your Honors effort is already paying off. The unofficial multiple choice class average was 47.5 out of 50. The written responses look just as good so far!
Congratulations to the following students for their perfect 50/50 multiple choice performance:
B: Dan Bau. , Christine C. , Ryan D. , Michele E. , Jenn R. , and Joanna S.
D: Emily G. , Laura H. , Nicole M. , Matthew McC. , Brian McC. , and Paul M.
E: Jency D. , and Kim M.
There were many 49s and I will check your answer sheets on those tomorrow!
So LOOKING GOOD yooo!
One bad note: if you go to this web address, you can see that the NY Board of Regents has decided,because of the Board's socialist/homogenizing principles, to HEAVILY PENALIZE high scorers. Those who got anywhere from 85% to 99% of the credits were deducted 3 to 4 points OFF of their scaled score!!!
Here it is: http://emsc33.nysed.gov/osa/concht/june05/chemistry.htm
I think that every teacher and parent should vehemently complain about this highly unfair treatment of students who care enough to highly achieve. This unfair curving has got to stop! Go ahead and boost up those who got a 60 but don't shoot down those who scored in the 90s.
Even last year, they did not have such a blatant downward curve for the 90 and above set.
Lookin' out for you all.
