<p>Honestly, 6 week grades are only an indicator of what might be, and it’s truly great that USNA does interim grades.

One of the many benefits of USNA’s academic policies. </p>

Her view is that the Brigade is still adjusting to the changes. Based upon this past weekend with 5 youngsters at my house, I’d say that was an accurate assessment.</p>
