This reads like it is a parody from The Onion. If this article is real, why don’t they just give everybody an A and not bother with having them show up at all. Think of all the money they could save by not having physical schools. Of course, they would still have to pay the teachers, no matter what.
“Baltimore County Public Schools has adopted a new philosophy as the foundation for its grading system for the first time in 20 years.”
If the parents were smart they would sue the school district. Then again, they probably cannot spell sue if spotted the S and the U.
Next up, SAT’s start at 1500 for signing your name correctly.
What is next for these people? Harvard? Yale?
What a joke.

This country is run by fools..
America is to stupid to compete with any asian country
Math is to hard
Hell everything is to hard
I doubt it's a parody. Our district doesn't permit us to give quarterly grades below 60. So far we've been able to grade individual assignments lower, but at the end of the quarter, the online system will over-ride an overall grade below 60. This isn't a public school system by the way.
