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]

Yup -work the system and get the same grades as the smarties.  So easy [/quote]

who's the smart one?[/quote]

The one who didn't work as hard - 100%
They probably have less mental health issues and obviously are move savvy and street smart.  They also have more time to be natural well rounded people than put on a fake college resume.  That goes a lot further than grades.  My junior in college beats out a lot of perfectionists for jobs and internships because she can talk, make conversation, work well with others, and does a lot more than just work for straight A's in college.  The recruiters do not care about grades if you can haven't worked basic jobs, have social skills, and can work well with a team.  [/quote]
