[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All teachers want this. Almost all parents want this. I don’t see a reason to stop this from moving forward for all students next year.[/quote] One concern expressed at the board meeting was this having a negative effect on college admissions outcomes for the classes of 2026 and 2027.[/quote] Good. These kids have been having it too easy with their grades being artificially bloated and getting into top schools only to find that they aren't adequately prepared. If these kids want to get into good schools, they should work for it, just like my kids in private school are. They've been having final exams that are worth 33% of the semester grade. That's what I call hard work and good preparation. Finally, my kids won't have to compete against schools with artificially inflated grades!! [/quote]
