[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is getting grade inflation? I have a sophomore in FCPS. Some of her teachers say they grade on a trend, others say they do standards based grading, and only two do a straight average. Her grades are lower than they would have been if she had actually had a fourth quarter. The fourth quarter is always the highest. [/quote]

The B+ and B students are getting the grade inflation. At FCPS, you get one letter bump in the 4th quarter. It is not fair to the A students.[/quote]

Our fcps is only giving one bump. A B would go to a B +, a B + would go to an A - and so on[/quote]

No one will get a worse grade per FCPS policy. It can only go up. Obviously the policy is not fair to the top students.[/quote]

most schools are doing this. College admissions will know and understand this when they look at the grades from this spring.  
The top students will still be top, at least in my FCPS. The rank is communicated by percentile, so a student with a couple of A- is not going to affect the A student that much. A straight A student is going to be fine if my B+ student get a couple of A-.[/quote]

I know someone who had an A first semester.  The course got significantly harder third quarter and that person has a B for third quarter.  That person would average to a B+ but will end up with an A.  It is what it is.  [/quote]
