[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges look at a 4.0 from MCPS as a 3.7 due to all the quarter grade rounding up and 50% rule.[/quote] Selective colleges renormalize to suit their needs, often on a class by class basis.[/quote] They know this but just want to complain. [b]People benefiting from the 50% rule aren't going to college[/b].[/quote] This is not true. Middle class students are gaming the grading policy. They know that they can do a half-a**ed job or even entirely skip a couple assignments and still earn an A or B. [/quote] They really aren't and most of these anecdotes seem made up to support your bizarre agenda.[/quote] You think thousands of teachers are complaining about this on Facebook and all of them are making it up? THAT is a bizarre agenda. [/quote]
