[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Madison this las led to lower grades and tons of angst for the students. Each assessment can only receive an A, B, C, etc. and to get an A, there can be zero mistakes-my child has has come home multiple times with B grades  where they have the right answer, but it will not be in the right format etc.  Under a rational grading system,   this would have merited an A-.  So we are now expecting kids to get perfect grades in math at all times to get an A.  If the goal is grade deflation, so be it. But I want all FCPS high schools doing this so Madison kids have a fair playing field against other FCPS stidehts in college admissions.  I would be less irritated if they brought back A-, B+ grades on assessments. [/quote]

I have an Oakton student. The goal seems to be lower grades, in my opinion. I would welcome a similar survey.[/quote]

Another Oakton parent- totally agree.  Bring down grades of honors kids. Biology honors has been changing syllabus midway to screw kids. [/quote]
