[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't contribute to (or fall prey to) this type of arms race -- it's toxic, as the PP said. Colleges will recalculate GPAs based on core/academic classes, so having an A in a non-weighted PE class shouldn't matter for admissions. MCPS doesn't rank students, so trying to get ahead of other students like this isn't a big factor to consider. What does matter is taking rigorous classes in core academic areas and doing well, so concentrate on helping your child choose the best classes for them in those areas. If a non-weighted art or PE class appeals to them, or is a good way to balance an otherwise rigorous schedule and help with the transition to high school, it can be a good choice.[/quote] OP, read this post like 10 times and take it to heart. No one is getting in or not getting into college because they took PE in 9th grade.[/quote]
