This is sad. we need to stop giving everyone an A and give real grades, let's go back to giving 0's and F's when they are earned.   [/quote]

Well...the colleges are accepting these kids, so I guess it didn't matter for acceptance.

So, if kids that need to take 9th grade math are accepted at GMU...who the heck are they rejecting?[/quote]

George Mason University admissions is selective with an acceptance rate of 91% and an early acceptance rate of 91.1%.

per google, so I am guessing 9% of the students applying...[/quote]

I hear you...but then you will see posts about people so nervous about whether their kid will get accepted to GMU (and they describe their kid as 1400+ SATs...so I doubt they need to repeat 9th grade math).

I guess 9% of kids forget to include their check with the application...though I know that is not possible these days with the Internet.[/quote]
