Such a predictable response, which is meant to be sympathetic to the have-nots but is actually subtly demeaning. Believe it or not, PP, lots of have-nots get As too. Lots of kids of immigrants - which my kids are - work hard even when life is disrupted.

And no one is arguing that all grades should be mandatory - families should have a choice between pass/fail and a letter grade because, yes, some students have faced new obstacles.

But frankly, the differences in environment have always existed. Some kids have tutors or parents who can help them study, while other kids are babysitting their siblings so that a single parent can work a double-shift. We don't insist that those disparities discount individual grades. And [b]MCPS shouldn't be insisting on throwing out the accomplishments[/b] of those who have been able to continue with their education just because others have not been able to do so.[/quote]

MCPS is not throwing out the accomplishments. All that hard work and learning your kids did is still there.[/quote]
