[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50% of American high schoolers ha r straight As.

DCPS is only giving As and Bs this year.   They dropped Cs and below from the grading scale entirely.

This is going to make very student even. [/quote]

If this is true, this is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. It's no wonder our country is going down the toilet. [/quote]

Really?  That's the reason?  HS grading policies during a pandemic?

For the record, I also disagree with the grading policy if this is true, I just dislike your hyperbole as it is not helpful in any way.[/quote]

Yes, really.

I have a hard time believing that this is actually true, but if it is - 50% of high schoolers have straight As?? There is NO WAY that 50% of this country's children are that smart. Sorry.

And, in that case, my hyperbole is meant to point out that this is symbolic of the culture we have created - everybody's great! everybody wins! everybody deserves what the other person has! - that is sending our country down the toilet.

Sorry if you don't think that is helpful.[/quote]

[i]Yet I’m sure you think your kid is a genius who deserves straight As, but “those kids” don’[/i]t. [/quote]

Nope. Not at all. You get what you get based on the quality of your work and ability to adhere to the class requirements. Life lesson.

There is no world in which I could be considered a snowplow.[/quote]
 
All the kids who got As adhered to their class requirements. [/quote]

You might think so, but you'd be unpleasantly surprised.[/quote]
