[quote=Anonymous]Do y'all think college admissions officers live in some bubble and won't understand that spring 2020 grades are different? do you think that MCPS is the only affected district? For those of you frustrated that the grades-as-people-sorter mechanism is not working well this semester -- please try to recalibrate. This might be a good time to have your high-achievers meditate on, say, the relationship between school and education. Or, perhaps, the actual function of grades. As almost-fun as it is to watch folks get indignant at the thought of our imagined meritocracy not functioning for a single second -- try to unclench. It is actually ok if everyone gets a freebie this time around. It is actually decent and kind and one semester of grade amnesty sounds perfectly fine to me. But if not to you, go ahead and start writing that essay to elite schools on why it's unfair. I'm sure that will go over GREAT with admissions. [/quote]
