[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, my kid who got straight A's in both quarters of Algebra isn't wasting any time studying for a semester final which will neither go on her transcript nor affect her semester grade, which WILL go on her transcript. She doesn't care one whit if she gets an E, and if she does so, it doesn't mean she cheated to get her As. She is spending the time she saved NOT studying for algebra and instead studying for her French semester final in order to pull her A/B quarter grades to an A for the semester, which she can only do by getting an A on the final. This is as it should be - why should she have to prove twice that she knows the Algebra material? I am more worried about the kids who get Cs or below on Algebra quarter grades - MCPS instruction is not working for those kids and they have motivation to study for a final because they are clueless in the class.[/quote]
