[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there even RCT’s?   If you get a D or fail a test, that’s that.  You need to be accountable just like in real life.

DCPS is already lenient in giving kids a 2nd chance to retake the test and I agree that it should be no higher than a C which is average.[/quote]

GFY.

School is not real life. It’s training for real life. The goal is to learn.  Not everyone gets things the first time. [/quote]

I actually think most middle class parents in DCPS only care about grades.  It rarely seems to be about learning- it’s always a question of how can their kid improve their grade.  [/quote]

THIS.  High grades are irrelevant when you have not learned or mastered the material, especially with such grade inflation in DCPS.     Then at the higher level playing field, you can’t compete and sink or fail out.

I would much rather my kid work his ass off and get a B and have mastered the material then an inflated A and not.  This is why you see the disconnect in AP scores of privates vs DCPS.  Private school kids have lower grades and GPA and much higher AP scores where DCPS kids are the total opposite.[/quote]
