Yes, life is so unfair to kids going to $60k/yr schools. |
You might be shocked to learn that not everyone gets a PhD. |
Most teens are. |
Did you forget that we head a pandemic thar shut down public facilities, including SAT, and then they reopened afterward? |
This narrative is getting so old and it is inaccurate. My daughter regularly gets over a 90 in every class at NCS. It's not easy, she works really hard, but she says that she knows other girls doing just as well or better. |
So NCS grade deflation is a myth? |
It's the algorithm, not the officers. Kids get cut before anyone who matters sees their file. |
The price tag of a school is irrelevant to this discussion. |
Different poster here . No. Average gpa is a 3.5. The fact that a few girls do well does not mean that there is not grade deflation. My daughter has had a 90+ in all classes and she's worked insanely hard and has definitely had some luck too. College counseling says she is near the top of the grade and is recommending ivies and similar. But she wants a fun school. She is frankly miserable and done with the insanity. |
Definitely happened this year. |
I’m waiting for college admissions to go “grades optional” next. |
some teachers are just absolutely harder graders. all the girls know this. |
Yes. 100% and there are girls who have been royalty screwed by this (not mine but ones I know). You don't get to choose your teachers and you can just end up with the ones who are harder graders (to the point that they don't give As while your classmates get easy As in another section. The school knows about it and they don't care. |
If she is so burned out from the insane pressure cooker that is NCS that she doesn’t want Ivy and similar, what has all that hard work done for her? What was she working so hard to get? What is the point? |
Why is she working so hard? Is she a perfectionist? |
