[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a 8th grader, I am a bit confused about the move on grading scale system of FCPS in next school year: There will be only 100 point scale, no 4 scale will be used (?). So, how the kids GPA will be for college applications? Thanks.[/quote] The change is being made to help close the achievement gap. As far as college admissions go, the practical result will be to help those students from lower SES backgrounds, who often tend to be BIPOC, while curtailing some of the unearned privilege traditionally enjoyed by other students. This change in grading should narrow the achievement gap and college admissions gap from both ends: the top and the bottom.[/quote] None of this makes sense about the 100 point scale. This is what most schools already do but some had a 4 point scale. Now every school will be the same. Your talking points might have some validity about sbg and retakes but not the scale.[/quote]
