Grading Arms Race

A reader commented:

"The reality is, students in other counties already receive the additional weighting."

From the Grade Weighting Committee's research:

County	Honors weighted?
Frederick	No
Prince William	No
Fauquier	No
Arlington	No
Montgomery	No
Fairfax	Starting next year
Albemarle	Yes

Loudoun will be part of starting the arms race for higher grades, other counties will be compelled to follow suit.
