[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All high schools grade inflate.

My HS in 1980 did but. All classes were scored 1-100. And nothing rounded us. A 89.61 is just that. We had a valedictorian.

Very hard to fake grades. Nerds had to take shop, cooking classes, gym and jocks had to take chemistry and Algebra. We all had to take music.

To add to it was group projects assigned at random. Your grade was groups grade.

And really make ups or lates. Literally your car broke down and missed quiz you got zero.

Take AP physics vs woodworking same count in GPA plus they give out a F just like that. I got a 49 average in geometry and that was that. I took it again and got an 87 but that 49 well it is what it is.

To get valedictorian you needed good grades in everything. I graduated with a 78 average and got into good schools.

MoCo is just chugging along on this 50 year grade inflation scam [/quote]

Wow, sounds like how MCPS was in the mid '80s. I was blown away at how many kids in my children's graduating class had perfect or near perfect grades-things have changed and not for the better.[/quote]
