Episode 12
In this episode of the TidePod, Ria, Ari, Ella, Aditi, and Jakob discuss the current MCPS semester grade rounding system. Introduced in the 2016-2017 school year, the current system functions by students receiving two different letter grades in both quarters of a semester. MCPS will then take the higher letter grade for the overall semester grade. Listen to the group discuss this current semester's grade rounding system and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of this policy. At the end of the discussion, we give our opinions on the system's future and provide some ideas for improvement.
