[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]massive grade inflation in DCPS and many charters in 2021-22 due to pandemic equitable concerns.....accounts for the increased grade cutoff at Walls this year

[quote=Anonymous]How much grade inflation is actually happening at middle schools? My DS is getting straight As but his friends are getting As and Bs. Maybe a handful are getting straight As. [/quote][/quote]

Massive grade inflation.  My Deal 7th grader slacked off and had C's in 5 classes of 6 this quarter (3rd) and spent ONE EVENING doing random worksheets and other missing work.  Turned them all in the next day and once these assignments were entered she was back up to straight As. 
It's a complete joke. 
She and all her friends get straight As. [/quote]

As a Deal teacher I hate that I have to accept the work for 86%. I think that there are a lot of B+ kids who should be C students. However, I think most of the straight A kids (principal’s honor roll) have earned it. [/quote]

Thank you Deal teacher.  I'm the poster you're responding to.  My critique of the grading system is not a critique of you or the other teachers (which it sounds like you know).  I wish things were more stringent and I can't imagine it's easy for you to be filling in all these grades when kids turn in things 100 different times each quarter.  [/quote]
