Such a bullshit answer.  You don't spend individual  time with each student, I've not seen any results of superior Instruction come home.   The writing assignments are laughable.  I can't imagine it would take any time to put a P or an A on every paper.   There are maybe a handful of comments that come home every year on any assignment.   Tests are few and far between and are not created by teachers.   You probably spend more time at the copying machine than anything else,  making copies of that horrible curriculum.

Teachers know this translates as, "My child had all perfect grades in middle school. She is so smart. She didn't learn any study skills because, did I mention? SHE IS SO SMART! She didn't need to study she just remembers everything. Therefore, other 'regular kids' at this 'regular school' couldn't possibly be as smart as her. The system is wrong and the school is flawed. The only reason she is getting lower grades than the other kids is because the teachers here are mediocre and overpaid for their level of performance."

Yes. I've seen this exact same type of parent response dozens of times. The thing is that the kids are typically reasonably smart, but some intelligence is developmental and some of it is just plain hard work. Bright kids with poor study skills and low grit don't get straight A's in high school PERIOD.
