[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS has the easiest grading system in the country. A 4.0 UW is pretty easy when 79.5 and an 89.5 = an A

They also don’t have plus and minus letters to differentiate. And a lot of redos are allowed. [/quote]

This doesn’t apply to rmib.[/quote]

It kinda does.  The grade calculation is the same, and redos are allowed all the time.  Yes, the curriculum is difficult, but the grading is rather lenient.[/quote]

They aren’t allowed redos, as you suggest. If they are, it’s not very often. [/quote]

My dd graduated RMIB two years ago and they do have redos. Not on assignments, projects or homework, but they did for test quizzes. Her biggest issue was the grading system. With a terrible grading system and no class rank, it was impossible to differentiate between the kids getting and A+B=A kids and the always A kids.  Better colleges went to kids that were minority (not Asian) as well as those who had to do a complete standout of something else.

The competing of resumes, SSL hours, activities, etc.. was what was the worst for her. EXHAUSTING. She would have preferred numbered grades or at least + and - to factor into GPA [/quote]
