[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you can get the lowest possible D 59.5  and lowest possible A 89.5 and still end up with a B, that is so wrong,  MCPS is a screwed up place. [/quote]

Agree. Our standards have fallen sooo far.
First they did away with semester exams. 
Then they did away with the average by trend. It used to be if your grade trended down you would get the lower option for the semester. 
If you trended up, you were rewarded for the progress with the higher option. 
Now, it’s the higher option no matter what. 
I personally think it should be the actual average of the two quarters. 
But MCPS will do whatever makes them look better.

I’m all for flexibility with the students, but we are not setting them up for how it works in the real world. 
I do not want my kid getting 50% for doing NOTHING. That’s not how life works. [/quote]

Actually life does work that way. How many slackers at your job get paid 100% of their paycheck for doing minimal work. [/quote]
