[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a 2026 kid and kids in later years, I feel that all the changes should be implemented for all, with the exception that the semester grading algorithm should not be changed for the c/o 2026.  [b]We have no idea what the results are going to be[/b], and if it’s anything negative it would be unfair to the upcoming graduating class, many of whom are already in the process of looking at post HS plans and pulling things together. It would be very much a nightmare to have to explain anything about the grade scheme to colleges/apprenticeships/scholarship committees, etc.   Every one else has time to adjust and for any needed tweaks to be made.  The class of 2026 not so much.  And further, many of them don’t even know it’s coming.[/quote]

Bro, it's not that deep. You show up, you put in the work, you get the grade you actually earned, no filler. If it's anything negative, you fscked up and need to work harder/smarter. That's how the rest of life works, so why should HS be any different? If you're making your plans based on the baby bumpers system MCPS has been using, yes, that gutter is going to be a shock. Better now than later; nobody else gives you half credit just for existing.[/quote]
