[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MCPS middle schools you have to option to take one of two levels of World Language. For instance Spanish 1A in 7th grade or Spanish 1A/B.  The 1A/B is equivalent to a high school level course. While the entire lower level is equal to a half year in high school.  The grades for both go on the student record and factor in the overall high school GPA.  The problem is an A is given 4 numerical points for both the advanced and non-advanced course.  In high school when you take and advanced class - honors or advanced placement you receive a numerical value of a 5 for an A, 4 for B, etc.. By not raising the numerical value for advanced middle school classes you are reducing the GPA. Furthermore, it is expected that a student received a lower grade in the advanced middle school class.  I say change the numerical rating. Please give me your opinions. Thanks in advance. [/quote]

I do not understand what you are trying to say. Could you please explain using examples?[/quote]
