[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ If PP is correct, FCPS was negligent not to realize it until now. That's what happens when the district ignores a particular school. [/quote]

The 0.5 honors GPA bump is new, like from the past year.  So it is not surprising to see growing pain with a 1 year old process.  This year might actually be the first year it was implemented. It is good that it was caught so quickly.

It sounds like the sentiment behind this is well intentioned.

The mistake by Westfield just needs to be fixed and aligned to district policy, which seems to be happening quickly.

The perition reads like it was created by students who don't understand the new policy regarding the honors level music class GPA boost, as evident by them repeatedly calling it a 0.5 additional credit.

The differences between the two, credit vs GPA boost, are explained above.

What it sounds like to me is that Westfield implemented the new grading policy incorrectly, and the students writing the petition don't understand what the difference is between credits vs weighted GPA. [/quote]
