I live in Fairfax and I don’t have an opinion on FAIRGRADE. But I know the county schools do a tremendous job of preparing these kids for college. They work hard in high school to get Cs and Bs and are pleasantly surprised when they go to college and get As. So there is a definite plus side to Fairfax’s grading scheme.

And for the record, Fairfax does not produce “cookie-cutter kids” who want the same thing out of life, “same schools, same professions”. Such a generalization is ridiculous!
