[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC experience is similar that some classes have no retakes allowed and those that do, have cannot get more than 3 so maxed out— so effectively if get 100%, get a 4.  If get 1 or 2, can retake to get a 3.  Hope enough parents go to voice concerns about system.[/quote]

An example from a math test today. There were five questions. Four out of five questions 100% correct. For one question, my DC got one part out of the four part question wrong. Grade on the entire test dropped to a B. Not an A- or B+, but a B. Pretty frustrating for my kid who is a super hard worker. They just want to give up at this point. It is just so much pressure for each test. [/quote]

Ugh. FCPS is such a mess these days.  Is there anything they can do right, or have these stupid equity initiatives destroyed just about everything that was once admirable about the system?  [/quote]

Sadly you have hit the nail on the head. FCPS is a shell of its former self and unlikely to be able to recover.   Won’t be long before it hits rock bottom.  Feel sorry for the kids that have no path of escape from a failed system.
