[quote=Anonymous]OP - *sigh*

[b][i]"if you are FOIA-ing the school system it’s much more likely that you’re just a crazy person.."[/i][/b]
I respect your personal opinion.  Two years ago, I used to think that way as well.  However, the documented evidence are facts and not opinions.  The FOIA was only used to verify a few of the documented anomalies within the program that year.
[b][i]"...than it is that the teacher had some vendetta against your kid that the Principal and Superintendent decided to back up."[/i][/b]
Interesting that you said "the" teacher.  It is true that it was only program involved.  Never said it was a vendetta, so please be accurate and truthful.  (In fact, there was a pattern whereby half the class were given spelling words such as "apple" and the other half "pentarchy".)  The material question is why anyone would lower a grade after-the-fact for a child in the "pentarchy" group?
[b][i]"Grade in computer then isn’t the same grade?"[/i][/b]
Correct.
[b][i]"One assignment is listed, separately three times?"[/i][/b]
Correct.
[b][i]"School says it’s all accurate?"[/i][/b]
Correct, but also contradicted itself and said it would be "difficult" to change; so not sure which story they're sticking to?
[b][i]"School says only reason child didn’t get into magnet was HW score?"[/i][/b]
No.  No rationale was given.
[b][i]"details"[/i][/b]
As far as details go, MCPS has been asked to respect the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).  Since this forum is anonymous, it is unnecesary to comment further.
[b][i]"You are upset about admission to middle school magnet program"[/i][/b]
Again, if my child is in or out - it's not really the point here, but thanks for commenting.  I suppose if I had no moral center, you would be correct.  On the contrary, I question why someone at MCPS would either fail to grade assignment(s), lower grades on assignment(s), or not correct errors when pointed out to them.  Is this acceptable behavior for adults to do to *any* child?  Any adult who does this to a child (or otherwise tries to defend such an adult) is a true.. well...  :)  The point is that if learning and education is not what MCPS is all about, then I really don't know what to say to you.  Ask yourself to what end would MCPS do this to a Fourth Grader?  Why wouldn't a "mistake" be corrected?  If the accusation is "plagarism" - why wouldn't you speak to a parent about it?
[b][i]"obsessing over this issue" and "you need help.  I mean it."[/i][/b]
Okay.  Thanks for your opinion!
[b][i]"Are you discussing the situation with your child? Does dc know the lengths you’ve gone to?"[/i][/b]
I'm sorry, but that's really none of your concern.
[b][i]"Does your dc’s other parent think you’re being reasonable?"[/i][/b]
Let me ask - it reasonable for *any* adult to tolerate this done to *any* child?
[b][i]"Have you led your dc to believe that he/she would have been admitted to a magnet if not for this grade changing conspiracy?"[/i][/b]
On the contrary - the damage done to my child (both actual and psychological) is already done.  Sorry to disappoint.  This was documented to help the [i]next[/i] child... in other words, to help [i]this year's class[/i].. I know - fighting for justice and what's right - a strange concept, isn't it?

[b][i]"Poor, poor kid. The next seven years will be rough."[/i][/b]
I'm curious as to why you would think this?  Do you really believe that MCPS will deliberately target or retaliate against a child?  I hope no one is that criminal at MCPS...[/quote]
