[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are new to MCPS and assuming everyone has all As in all subjects. Sucks the joy out of it.[/quote] Do you want a curve? Why? I get that the assumption is grade inflation. But ES is not hard, and this is an educated area: at least in theory, everybody could have mastered the grade standards. Should they not then have As for hitting that mark?[/quote] If everyone is hitting the mark, the mark is too low. [/quote] Then you need to go private. MCPS grading regulations specifically prohibits curves. https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/policy/pdf/ikara.pdf "The following grading practices are prohibited: ... b) Forcing grades into a normal frequency distribution or any other kind of curve that compares students in relation to others."[/quote] Nobody is talking about forcing grades into a curve. Raise the expectations, and the curve it appear by itself.[/quote]
