[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son got all As in his public ES. Occasionally he would get a B. When he started in 6th grade in a private school, he got one A and the rest Bs. The grading scale was harder. I'm glad he knows that his straight As with little effort were not a good indicator of anything except grade inflation. Now he actually has to work for his grades. I wish he had learned that from the beginning. [/quote] +1 Our experience too. With the exception of the magnets and HGCs, it appears MCPS is relaxing standards and dumbing everything down so they can "close the achievement gap." We also found our local private much more rigorous - and also more engaging and fun - than MCPS. [/quote]
