[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This such a non issue. No one impacted by this grading change is going to a college where tiny GPA differences matter. [/quote] You don't think top students ever get Bs for a marking period or two, ones that used to be As for the semester but are now sometimes Bs?[/quote] Top students can pull the 90 average across two semesters almost every time, and occasional misses don't matter. [/quote] Mostly true, but for juniors with many APs, all these changes at once coupled with inconsistent grading practices really ratcheted up the stress. My kid’s grades dipped a bit third quarter and it will be tough to recover for the semester. And colleges may interpret the notation as meaning he didn’t earn his As in 9th and 10th, which he did. I’ve been an MCPS defender for 15 years but right now I’m just so tired of them and can’t wait to be out of here. [/quote]
