There were 18 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question, “What’s your opinion of the decision to phase out weighted GPA at Kennett High?” Most were against phasing out weighted GPAs.
I sense a little COVID brain fog on the Conway school board. Don't phase out weighted. Wow. No way. Are they so desperate to get kids into vocational classes that they would assign the same weight to an honors English class as a cooking class? Really? I wonder if Hanover High and Bow and Oyster River some good high schools in the state are doing that. Ask the staff in English, math and science departments if they agree with this. Aren't all kids required to take a voc class anyway? So what's the problem? Considering weighted courses encourage kids to stretch academically? Well, fewer students select these high-level classes. Let's have two valedictorians, one weighted and one not. Maybe that would solve the problem. It's not a very good idea.
