[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do all MCPS schools allow this?

One of my kids graduated ten years ago so this is old info but they were not allowed to repeat a math class where they earned a D because they had “passed.” It affected their ability to continue math. (They had transferred into MCPS from an out-of-state private school and Richard Montgomery placed him without a placement test, despite our requesting one. He struggled in the class and finally earned a D with a tutor - but wasn’t allowed to repeat in summer school. We were told it was policy. Just wondering if the lousy policy had changed. [/quote]
There's a whole lovely website you can look up the policies on.
