[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]MCPS should design its grading policies around the needs of the Harvard admissions committee. Got it.

Or, alternatively, let's assume that the Harvard admissions committee can find a way to solve that problem for itself. They're Harvard, after all! That means they must be smart! [/quote]

No.  I think the poster is saying MCPS should provide more pathways for all their brilliant and excelling students with As to get more challenging work.  It's simply too easy according to MCPS to master the subject material.  If MCPS can't provide pathways for students to get challenge I'll settle for a curriculum of academic challenge Harvard would be proud of.[/quote]

This sounds like you're saying that kids should have even more homework. My kid, and lots of other kids we know, worked 4-5 hours a night, and sometimes stayed up until 2-3 in the morning, to get nearly straight As. IMO, lots of MCPS kids get As because they are very ambitious and work very hard (my own DC just started at an Ivy).

There's so much supposition and outright BS here (I'm the poster who clicked on the links that were supposed to prove the 90% rate of As, but proved nothing of the sort.) For an MIT grad, you're pretty unreliable. However, you can redeem your miserable BS on the "90% of grades are As" nonsense by sorting fact from fiction on the reasons for many (not 90%) As. We all know your pet theory is that grading is too easy -- so prove that many As are because of easy grading as opposed to competing theories, such as many MCPS kids who work hard because they aspire to Ivies.
