[quote=Anonymous]Here's the problem. College admissions. It is getting more and more competitive. I know so many W school students getting rejected and deferred in early action and early decision this year. Why? Perhaps because these admissions officers know very well what is going on with grade inflation in MCPS. So glad we moved our DS to a private school, where he has text books, 3 hours of homework a night, papers to write for multiple classes, mid term exams, final exams, etc. Exam weighting to quarterly grades is 1/3 each. So lots of incentive to do well on exams...which are cumulative. I can sleep at night knowing that he will graduate being able to succeed in a top university. Not so much for MCPS students these days.[/quote]
