[quote=Anonymous]A grade is a grade, it is not an indication of understanding, nor is it an indication of effort, per se.  If you are simply relying on grades as an indication that your child is prepared to meet deadlines, have the emotional confidence the deal with stress, achieve independently and have a higher level understanding of math concepts and on, then that is a error on your part.  It would be like assuming visiting the gym everyday of the week necessarily means you will be healthier and more fit.  We don't know how that person is exercising, what they are eating and doing outside of the gym.  Frankly, I think there are clear signs that someone getting good grades is just winging it and getting by.  If people choose to ignore those signs then that is a personal failing.

There is accountability for MCPS but for every person claiming you don't learn anything at MCPS anymore and it's not worth it to be here anymore, there is a kid with multiple college classes as a senior in highschool that is smarter than your kid, tries harder than your kid and does more outside the scope of MCPS standards than your kid.  They feel challenged and they will go on to successful lives.  [/quote]
