[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is confusing because some are complaining of lower grades and others are complaining FCPS just wants to give easy grades to everyone to achieve equity.[/quote] Why - bring up the bottom and bring down the top is the second easiest way to achieve “equity,” right after just bringing down the top. [/quote] Yes - that does seem the be the overall effect of this, to compress the grade at both ends. I'm curious to see if everyone's grade gets bumped up at the end of the year because teachers and administrators keep saying things like don't worry, it will all be ok in the end, there are still grading opportunities (teachers), everyone will benefit (administrator). For kids with As, it currently looks like grade deflation. [/quote]
