[quote] Its a reminder to everyone that no one should go above the bar or ever spend any resources on kids who already meet the bottom bar. It solidifies the position that MCPS is about the aggregate meeting the lowest bar and that an individual child's performance and education is of no interest to them. [/quote]

This is exactly what is happening.

[quote] Yes, this would all make sense, if MCPS were reporting on the percentage of students who get a P. But they're not. [/quote]

Really?  You don't think that they don't examine and measure the grades of students internally?

If your child KNOWS they are reading above grade level they don't expect to get a higher grade than their friend in class that is reading and struggling with simpler material?

If you have mastered grade level material and are performing ABOVE grade level should you not get a grade that reflects that?   What kind of message does that send kids, or even more telling, when the get out of ESPIN land and get to real grades in higher levels how do you shift their expectations to perform at the highest level possible?  They are being trained to meet the middle and not be rewarded with a higher grade for higher achievement.
