[quote=Anonymous]Ok - it’s not that they don’t care - it’s that they don’t know. The average kids in general classes don’t understand the grading system at all. The top students and the bottom students do. That is why there is an attendance problem at Madison. This system leads to kids at the bottom further disengaging from school. The parents of average students are used to seeing Bs and Cs so nothing has changed for them that they can see. And no I don’t think you are Calvert but I do think you want to help her for some reason. There are a fee parents I’ve encountered like this. I’ve had a conversation with one of these people (really weird) and a strange experience with another. I’ve never spoken to a parent that thought this was a great idea other than the parent that prefaced the convo with her love of Calvert and declaration that she doesn’t care about her kids’ grades - weird. Most parents say why would someone implement a system like this. [/quote]
