[quote=Anonymous]Although I agree that the selective school should be able to evaluate the kids transferring from MCPS, I do think this new system is a great disadvantage. Yes, the grading system is only one of the problems. My child who seemed to be a math whiz has been doing the same level math since 2nd grade. (His school advanced him in 2nd grade (to do 4th grade work), in 3rd grade, he did 3rd grade math as commanded under 2.0, now in 4th grade, he's doing compacted 4/5 math which is easier and more basic that the work he did in 2nd grade. To say he is demoralized and is losing interest in math is an understatement. It isn't just the grading system that is the problem, it is the content of what these kids are learning.[/quote]
