[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can only speak to FCPS; I have two children in different FCPS high schools. FCPS pulled back from grade inflation by widespread implementation of "skills-based grading" / equity grading. There are myriad threads on SBG in FCPS here on DCUMAD; use the search function (the information is highly tainted by political opinion, however). The effect has been, as intended, to increase the grades of students at the lower end (fewer Fs and easier to earn a C) while making it more difficult to earn an A, especially in Honors and AP classes. Implementation of SBG varies by school and even by teacher. [/quote] If students having difficulty with the curriculum are helped by changed made that’s a good thing. If it’s more difficult to get an A in AP that’s a good thing. If everyone gets an A it cheapens the class and makes it less impressive. [/quote]
