[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love it!

The old system was so unfair. My oldest graduated with the old system, and it certainly benefited him on paper because he was at the border between A and B many times, and ended up with As. However MCPS looked so unprofessional next to FCPS (who has A- and A+) and other school systems that maybe some universities just mentally recalibrated the MCPS students' GPA - which hurts kids who really earned their As.

My youngest grumbled a bit but I was adamant that the new system is much more fair to everyone. This year's seniors had a note on their transcripts that the grading policy changed.

All is well.

All is not well, as my studious senior and their friends will tell you. It may become well, but I can promise you that many a senior this year, including those who normally work hard, felt the effects of changes especially as teachers grappled with all the changes(some well some not).  It will likely get better but it is not all well yet.  This due date/deadline madness is still crazy.  It just needs to be one date. The only exemption is students with excused absence. [/quote]

Hm, NP here, my studious student will tell you all is well. He’d never had a quarter grade under the old system so didn’t start now. As each quarter mean semester As under either system. And keeping up with keeping up with deadlines and due dates is not hard.[/quote]
