[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing wrong with the grading system.

There are other things that could be improved, but the grading system is fine.

I am simply amazed at how some parents think things should remain the same because they want their kids to have good grades (without working for it).  They are willing to sacrifice a solid education for an exaggerated representation of their performance in school, which colleges know is just that - exaggerated.  These parents are in for a rude awakening when college search comes along.

Your assumptions are incorrect.

My child is actually in a high school test-in program (and has been in MCPS magnets since 4th grade) so we certainly aren't trying to avoid hard work or a good education.  [/quote]

You do realize that your kid's magnet school experiences are in a bubble and do not reflect what happens in an average classroom on a daily basis.  [/quote]

Average kids are going to be smarter because we arbitrarily decide to give them lower grades. If they aren’t in challenging classes then of course the grading is easier.  As it should be. [/quote]
