[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is getting 50% instead of 0 for not doing the assignment, or being guaranteed a 68 for turning in something with your name on not coddling?[/quote]

The COVID grading was DCPS mandated and intended to help students who didn’t have the ability to seamlessly make the switch to home/online schooling. Laptops and portable Wi-Fi (if you could get it to work) and meals were made available at schools for pick-up.The unhooked students getting into Ivies at Walls and in private are prob in top 10% of their class - not students who are getting a 68 on an assignment. GW classes were not part of the DCPS Covid grading policy and approx 10% of each Walls class is in that program, taking all their classes at GW Jr/Sr. Year. Many students take GW courses outside of the GWECP as well.

With TO colleges are relying more on the HS transcript. Perhaps the GW coursework is the reason college admissions has been stronger than usual the past few years. [/quote]

This was the policy in FCPS long before Covid.[/quote]
