[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article is about DC schools but FCPS has the same policy in place and it grossly inflates grades at all levels. https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/10/23/dc-schools-grading-policy-50-percent-rule/[/quote] I don’t care about grade inflation since the object is for children to learn the material, not to have a bell curve of a grading system. That would just be utterly stupid. I would say for more advanced classes intended for college-bound students, however, this does them no favors. So maybe in later AP courses teachers should have more stringent policies just as a matter of preparation. But everyone else? It doesn’t matter if everyone gets an A if the work is done and the material mastered. And honestly I don’t understand the handwringing about it. [/quote]
