We, the undersigned parents feel that Forsyth County Schools are headed in the wrong direction with the new 123 grading system. We feel that this is not appropriate for 4th grade and higher, and the lack of a grade for exceeding standards is unacceptable. We appreciate the value of traditional grading and want to see its use as the primary means in our county. By signing below you are asking the Forsyth County Board of Education to stop any more expansions of the system, adopt a plan to recognize excellence in all grading, and consider restricting the new grading to K-1 or K-2.

My son is so discouraged because he works hard and just gets a 2. There is no incentive for kids to do their best anymore. Bring back real grades.

TOTAL CONFUSION. Nobody likes this and the teachers hate it too. Listen to the parents for once.

Ridiculous. My daughter is an A student and now she gets no recognition for the extra effort. Fix this.

This system is a joke. How are we supposed to know if our kids are actually learning anything? Stop making things complicated just to be trendy.

Keep it for the little ones but 4th grade is way too old for this nonsense. They need to learn how to earn a grade.
