Frederick County high school grading system discussed in letters
A reader condemns the shift from a four term straight GPA to a two semester plus final exam system, arguing it lowers expected grades and misaligns with college standards.

Also included are opinions on daytime soap operas, suggesting late night airings, plus thanks to local charities and school staff, and a closing question about weeds in home gardens.
