Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
As school lets out for the summer and teachers prepare report cards, a debate is simmering in Fairfax County over what it takes to get an A. Some parents are worried that a tough grading scale makes their kids less competitive for college admissions. We explore how local high schools grade their students and how colleges interpret those grades.
Guests
- Marcy Newberger Co-founder, Fairgrade
- Pat Murphy Assistant Superintendent, Department of Accountability, Fairfax County Public Schools
- Barmak Nassirian Associate Executive Director, American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers
