[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's stupid especially for students that have no semester changes in classes.

It's just another messed up thing MCPS does to help kids pass every single class.  Inflated grades and change of teachers [/quote]

It's a shame that some posters are so jaded that they see conspiracies and incompetence behind every issue.  The county is far from perfect, but you have to be able to discern real grade inflation, like how B+A=A and A+B=A, from non-issues like scheduling.

Someone above raises a good question about how schedules change from semester to semester even if a student is taking the same courses. (1) OTHER students are forced into that class making it overcrowded and other students have to be removed.  (2) Rebalancing class sizes when at the end of the first semester, one class is at 31 students and another is at 20.  (3) A section is collapsed.  If your kid is in one of six sections of Honors English, and the school collapses one of them to create an additional Regular English section, lots of students will switch.
