[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The title pretty much says it all. So why is the bar set so low? Does everyone get As in 6th grade? Remember: this is the 2.0 guinea pig class. Are they giving all the kids a free pass? Honestly, my kid struggles with reading comprehension and is a very poor writer. He's in regular classes (nothing advanced and no foreign language) and has always been solidly average (with borderline MAP scores). [b]Yet straight A's (even with a D on his last chapter test in one class). [/b] Something must be up. The bar must have been lowered for 6th grade. And now he's confident that he can continue to put in minimal effort since that approach resulted in straight As. Thanks, mcps. [/quote] Maybe the teacher drops the lowest grade, or used a curve. My kid a 116% on a test because of a curve.[/quote]
