[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think middle school grades can be weighted if students are taking classes like algebra two and Chinese 2.[/quote]

No.  Underwater dodgeball counts the same as Algebra 2 and Advanced Mandarin.[/quote]

There is no “underwater dodgeball” elective in middle school.  In fact, there aren’t any electives in middle school in DC that I am aware of.  The only tracked classes are math and language for kids that had immersion language in elementary school.

You have heard of PE?[/quote]

It is not an elective, the vast majority of students take the same amount of PE.  Some students choose to take two math classes at once at Deal instead of PE/Art, I think Geometry and Algebra I so they can take algebra I in 8th.  The elective there is the extra math.  Maybe your student goes to private and has a different structure:

But again, no 7th grade student is signing up for a BS elective instead of a core class that gives their GPA an unreasonable grade bump  as you imply.  Almost all students take PE and no students take underwater anything.  They will all take PE in high school too.

PE is an elective at my kids’ school.[/quote]
