[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers were practically handing out A and B to kids in consideration of covid. Would have had to be pretty lazy not to get an easy A. We’re their other explanations for thiis?[/quote]

DP. Not at our private. They shut down one week to plan the move to virtual and then kept the same schedule and assignments. My child maintained honor roll grades but it was a big adjustment for many of the students. Six hours of live online classes including a PE teacher who required an app to make sure the kids were moving is a lot. I think the teachers had higher expectations because the kids were home.

OP, in addition to what you are researching maybe the teacher recommendations can address it. A good score on the entrance exam will help too. It is tough because for private school kids 7th grade is the year that matters most.[/quote]

That's impressive but it sounds like OP child was in public and public looked very different.  We had 3 hours of online a day and long breaks for lunch and in-between classes, assignments were a joke, etc. I would have much preferred what you described.  If in public there is no excuse to get those grades as they also let you redo work.[/quote]
