[quote=Anonymous]This is a trash article. It is just a bunch of opinions with absolutely no data and one anecdote from a former MCPS student who got one bad grade in a lab class at a Cal Poly campus. I've had 4 kids in MCPS schools. Two graduated from MCPS highschools, the other two went to private highschools. I know lots of MCPS kids who went on to college and graduated. Were they ready for college? I don't know, but, they were able to get a degree. I do know a handful of kids who took longer to get their degree (or dropped out completely). These kids were in majors not suited to them OR the school was a bad fit period. People here are too quick to push kids into stem majors like engineering and to send kids far away who aren't really ready. I don't think any of these kids "failures" can be blamed on MCPS grading policies. Show me the data that says MCPS students are not ready for college.[/quote]
