[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between MCPS absolutely ridiculous grading scale and the fact that they are not allowed to administer final exams, it’s a wonder those kids are prepared for college.  And it’s absurd that MCPS students are compared to students from schools that have strict grading scales, no test retakes, homework graded for accuracy and no weighting for honors/AP classes.[/quote]

Test retakes are why my oldest failed out of university. Smart young man with zero study skills or time management. I vividly recall him saying in 9th through 12th how such and such bad score didn't matter because he'd be able to retake it. How such and such missed assignment didn't matter because he'd turn it in later for full credit. He was sent off to university with the executive functions of a elementary student.

This is defrauding parents and I wish parents would call it out as a scam. But nobody wants to admit the As their kid has are fake.

His siblings were put in private school. Hard lesson. The oldest still hasn't gone back to finish college and probably never will.
