[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only thing MCPS Hs teaches is do the bare minimum.

I’d love to see what naviance shows MCPS hS Grads doing in college and gpa’s. Do they just continue this “learn to game the grade or test” and consider it learning?[/quote]

Sadly, MCPS inflates grades so bad, has removed finals because so many failed, and basically honors courses that give an entire 1 point GPA bump is considered “not remedial.” that colleges have to recalculate grades.  It sucks. Whitman college matriculation were really weak this year. They need to do more for these advanced kids instead of hoping everyone is in the same math or English. Kids struggle at high end colleges for sure. No more 79.5 and 89.5 = a 5.0 GPA.

Do you know the goal for EVERY 4/5th grade student is in compacted math[/b] and they all take IM in 6th?  That can’t happen because the spread is so high. So the only way to do this is to dumb down compacted math. Just another “advanced” class, not really advanced so everyone can play. It is a joke. [/quote]

They did that this year in some schools already.  All kids in College Gardens were placed in Compacted Math this year.  [/quote]
