[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50% of American high schoolers ha r straight As. DCPS is only giving As and Bs this year. They dropped Cs and below from the grading scale entirely. [b]This is going to make very student even.[/b] [/quote] Not really. Kids in magnet program or those taking higher level subjects and taking those exams - AP, IB and magnet, and doing well on the exams will stick out. Test optional will be useful for those kids whose GPA are not that great but they tested well on SAT/ACT, so those kids will be left floundering. URMs, B-students, Special Eds, low performing students...they all are going to find that they missed the boat. In fact the current 10,11 and 12th graders who did not have perfect earlier years in HS are also going to lose out. Because your C in Algebra in Freshman year will stick out. Tiger cubs are probably the only ones ahead now. [/quote]
