[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey rich families, chill! No one is talking about your precious snowflakes. The big issue is the kids who were online and cheating all year. By the way, [b]no one had grade inflation[/b], so you can stop that narrative. The kids who have straight As and didn’t earn them were the kids who were texting and facetiming each other during tests, and having older siblings/friends/parents/godknowswho taking tests and writing their papers. [/quote]

I'm a current student at TJ, it was confirmed to me in a private phone call with a TJ teacher that the grade inflation (in the classes they were teaching) was massive this year. Do with that info what you will.

Personally, I believe that a lot more students ended with As this year than in the past, for equivalent classes. My own math teachers have talked about how the class averages are higher. Some of my friends who never got straight As at TJ in the past have them this year. It's a mixture of cheating, general leniancy from teachers with deadlines, and tests counting for a lower portion of your final grade. I got away with doing a lot less work than before to have almost 100% in some classes... not that I didn't appreciate it, of course.[/quote]

This is 100% a troll. No TJ student is having “private phone calls” with a teacher.  That would be considered entirely unethical. And we’re supposed to believe TJ students are posting here on a Friday night? Nice try. [/quote]

I posted it. I was in a small group call. I consider that "private" because no one else could hear it. We got off topic and I asked about grade inflation and shit about online learning in general etc. I'm not going to reveal more for the sake of everyone's identity so don't try. Beyond confused what's "unethical". Would you consider talking to a teacher in private "unethical"? I hope none of your kids are learning that from you or their moral compass will lead them straight off into the Mariana trench.

The last comment about TJ students posting on a Friday night just baffles me. What else am I supposed to be doing on a Friday night? Oh, please... I've been working hard all summer, what have you been doing?

Reading over what I just wrote, I come off a bit aggressive. But every word I've written is true, so keep your comments to yourself if you have nothing to say but call me a troll. Take care.[/quote]
