[quote=Anonymous]Jack Smith's letter to MCPS parents is just spin in reaction to the media attention. Even middle school students taking a high school credited class recognize if you get an A the first marking period, you don't have to work as hard the second marking period because getting a B is enough to receive an A for the semester. When there were final exams, students were motivated to work every semester to get the higher grade. A + A would equal an A. Otherwise, if you received a B you would have to get the A on the exam to receive an A for the semester. The exams were motivation. The simple removal of exams has in itself inflated grades and students will be ill equipped for college test taking skills.[/quote]
