That is not now nor has it ever been the understanding of any parent I know of. All parents believe grades are signals and indicators of mastery and effort.

This is why schools and parents cannot be on the same page. Educators/administrators like yourselves muddy the waters with crap like this and insist parents are to blame for misunderstanding what grades have ALWAYS been meant to signal and demonstrate.[/quote]

I'm a parent, not an educator or administrator, I just refuse to be absolutely and without question on the parents side when a forum for parents is just an outlet for undue whining.[/quote]

Not sure I believe you. Your aggressive defense of MCPS belies some sort of allegiance to the system. Maybe your spouse works for the system?

Either way, your premise is utter garbage. If grades didn't indicate mastery and effort, the SCHOOLS would not highlight kids who get good grades via Honor Roll ceremonies or Straight A's recognition. Your theory that grades don't indicate mastery and effort are completely misaligned with the actions schools routinely make in highlighting and promoting kids who get GOOD GRADES.

If they didn't matter and didn't indicate competency and mastery, why recognize them?

Your argument is full of holes. So why are you invested in arguing and making it? Be transparent.[/quote]
