That's the basis of socialism: When one does poorly, we must all do poorly.
Such policies don't prepare the kids for the failure that they are being prepared for, and some of them come back and shoot up the schools.
This is a literal outrage!!!
What does the school say about this??
I did some digging. They did release a statement…There's probably a reason why they didn't comment, but I see your point.

Do you think the outcome was gamed in this situation?My profession can be so short-sighted it's awful.
The RIGHT thing to do is offer many educational/academic/social/leadership programs so that EVERY child can excel. That could be math, science, or reading; it could be the arts; it could be a trade; it could be leadership.
The WRONG thing to do is keep some kids down because other kids are down. Guess what teachers! Life hurts sometimes and disappointment is inevitable. Helping kids deal with that is our job--NOT gaming the outcome!
Ugh
I did some digging. They did release a statement…
Fairfax County Public Schools sent FOX 5 a statement, saying they are looking into the matter and will make sure to notify students correctly moving forward.
"FCPS understands the hard work and dedication of each and every student who competes for college acceptance and scholarship opportunities," the statement reads. "Once the issue regarding the fall 2022 notifications was realized, counselors sent emails and made follow-up calls to each college where these students had applied and informed them of the National Merit Scholarship Commendations. We are continuing to look into this matter and will take any necessary steps to ensure consistency in appropriate and timely notification of National Merit recognitions going forward."
No problem… it was from the same fox network that reported the story in your OP. Obviously all this is third hand so can’t trust anything fully but it is good to look at all sides of the story….That's great if they said that, but not like I don't trust you, but mind supplying us a link?
My parents were proud of my achievements.When I was in school high achievers were rewarded with "honor roll" status with names posted for all to see.

No prob, I always ask for links too so I can check sourcing and see if there’s more to the story… in most cases there usually isThank you. I didn't think you would be bullshitting me but it's always best to have a link in hand to backup your claims and you did so that's great.
