[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole story is ridiculous. I'm really curious what MS  is being referred to in the post. This is certainly not happening at my child's MS. He's working for his grades and paying the consequences if he doesn't. Yes, some of his friends may be getting straight A's, but it's not because they are inflating the grades. I know plenty of other kids who aren't getting close to straight A's. [/quote]

I'm not the OP, but a PP. I won't name my middle school. I think that kids get an A if they meet the criteria of the rubric. If you're good at following directions and smart, it's pretty easy to get an A at our middle school. They also help you study for bigger tests, by giving your worksheets that you complete and then study. So, I don't think there is a lot of independent learning, analysis, etc. being required at our middle school.

I have to say 6th grade was a little harder as there was the adjustment period of going from elementary school to middle school, but 7th and 8th have been relatively easy.[/quote]
