[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's crazy to me how many kids there are on here with unweighted 4.0s. I feel like even last year it was rare. This year 10 replies out of 15 each time the results from another school come up are ALL unweighted 4.0s. Many are MCPS--it makes sense with their wacky grading scale: [b]you can get 69.5 (C) quarter 1, 79.5 (B) quarter 2, 79.5 (quarter 3) and 89.5 (quarter 4) and end up with an A or 4.0 for the year for the class. [/b] THAT IS INSANE. Many districts are similar. You are a hair what is traditionally failing for a solid quarter (a 69.5) and you still get an A for the year. And they don't have A minus grades. So an A is a 4.0 Plus retakes (in many classes), no penalty for late work, etc. Does anyone who does the work, not end up with a 4.0? It really seems like you have to try to do poorly. Has a 4.0 ceased (even unweighted) ceased to mean ANYTHING? It seems like this is really hurting the kids who are actually super smart. They are lost in the shuffle of so many kids getting "perfect" grades for doing very average work. [/quote] Wow that is insane! If a student had the same quarter grades in my kids school here in NJ, his final grade would be 79.5, which is C+. And that means unweighted grade value for the class is 2.33. [/quote]
