[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to private school and was much more prepared for college than my friends who went to public school. I wasn't smarter. In fact, many of my public school friends had higher SAT scores etc.

In private school, every assignment and paper was given back within 1-3 days. There were extensive comments and corrections even if you received an A or B. If you received less than 80% on an assignment or test, you were often required to correct or rewrite it and take it to your advisor. You didn't receive an upward grade change but if you failed to do this your grade was further lowered.

I am sympathetic that the class sizes are too large in public school and incentives are not there for teachers to provide this level of motivation and instruction. What's sad is that this is the model that works not just letting everyone fall wherever, never achieving their potential. [/quote]

Back when I was in a public HS in the 80's in CA, and not a great school, I got back all of my writing assignments with feedback.  Seems like this is a current thing.[/quote]
