[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the drivers for why MCPS is worse than other school systems is the attitude that getting bad grades will make kids feel bad.

MCPS is very against actually grading kids because they believe bad grades will destroy a child's confidence. They also know that getting bad grades will invite more parents to seek services if their child has a learning disability. For higher SES families, a child coming home with bad grades results in more studying at home, tutors and work to get the grades up. In lower SES families, it usually results in a child not getting any additional help and later dropping out. From the MCPS standpoint - it better if no one learns than see an increase in the achievement gap if more higher SES students do better. Grade inflation in MCPS is all about keeping MCPS employees happy and everyone blissfully ignorant that everyone is doing a great job.

It works if your kid stays in MCPS for their entire K-12 experience but they are in for a rude awakening. [/quote]

That is truly awful. We are one of the richest counties in the entire world and that’s what you get for all that money ?
