[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say that I’ve seen this action for my Oakton kid. He’s in Honors Biology and had some incredibly difficult tests in cellular respiration, DNA sequencing etc. all 3 quarters he has been middle of the road. Solid b minus. His last two tests have been on such easy subject matters this quarter that his most recently tested “skills”  have wiped out, basically, the last 3 quarters. That’s because he gets the highest grade of EITHER  his last tested skill grade, or an average throughout the year. So, my B- biology kid now has an A minus. And as much as I love him, he does not deserve that A minus[/quote]

Jmhs will not be like this. Grades will be going down, unlike the rest of the county. [/quote]

Watch the video. This is exactly what Madison will look like next year. The reason why parents can’t agree on inflation or deflation is because it wasn’t applied consistently. They are implementing a system meant for the students who struggle the most in FCPS for all students at Madison. In the video it talks about how “trending” was previously reserved in FCPS for students in danger of failing a course. Now “trending” will be used for all Madison students. Are the people in charge ok? No.[/quote]
