[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between their [b]inflated grades[/b] and $$ to do early decision (because they can pay), this system seems so rigged. Anyone else notice this?[/quote]

You MUST be joking with your talk about inflated grading when your kid goes to Montgomery County. You can get an A one semester and a D another and get a B for the final grade. MCPS also gives full credit for homework if there is a “good faith effort.” - no points taken off for accuracy or completeness. Also, you can’t get below a 50%. My kid at private doesn’t have any of this nonsense. She earns her grades. [/quote]

Why are you so upset about this? If a student had a 92 A one semester and a 68 D the second semester, that would average to an 80, which is in fact a B.[/quote]

[b]Everyone starts with a 50, so you are almost guaranteed a D.[/b] Plus, most Ds  averaged with a A are, in fact, a C or a B-. What’s wrong with just getting the grade you deserve? Average the two numbers and be done. But that’s not how equity/MCPS works.

Well in private school, you start with a C. No one is paying money for anything less.[/quote]
