[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the same about Deal when so many posted about their kids having 4.0s to even apply to Walls. I suspect its a national issue as teachers know how impactful grades are to college admissions. A 3.5 used to be a really good GPA and now it's treated like a C average.[/quote] I agree. This a national issue driven by colleges. No one is getting an “A” in DCPS based on 50s and 63s alone. Those policies raise graduation rates; they don’t give anyone a weighted GPA over 4.0. Before you try to get DCPS to unilaterally disarm, take a good look at what happened in college admissions this year to unhooked smart kids from private schools that tried unilateral disarmament.[/quote]
