It's showing how pitiful the learning and grading are in MCPS. How easy it is to work around.  All of my kids know if they get an A in Q1, they can get as low as a 79.5 in Q2 and still get an A for the first semester.  Then in Q3 get another A and can get as low as a 69.5 in Q4 and still get an A for a final grade.  [/quote]

This can not be true. You gotta be an angry clueless private school parent. MCPS does not grade like this.  :lol: [/quote]

They 1000% do grade like this.  A kid can get 98's all 4 quarters and another gets  an 89.5, a 79.5, and 89.5, and a 69.5.  Both equal an A.  4.0 and if it is considered an honors course (which in MCPS world is basically anything non-remedial) than you get a 5.0[/quote]

Same here. And my kid is in a middle school magnet. I don't think he is a genius at all. But he says he has done all the work in and in between class. He comes home and plays minecraft before we drag him out and ask him to play outside. [/quote]
