D–we’re in Fairfax County–went to a Catholic High School where the grading system mirrored the County. I wonder if they will retreat, also. Under that system, she’d have had a 4.0 unweighted, converting two B+'s in math to A’s!

I actually think the move was unnecessary, but it’s heartening that the elected Board was responsive to the parents concerns.
