[quote=Anonymous]One thing I notice a lot of parents saying is that they appreciate that Catholic schools have very transparent and reasonable grading standards. Many UMC parents are tired of the opaque standards at "Big 3" schools. They're tired of English teachers that force every student to fight for the one "A" in class. Many "elite" prep schools assign difficult work (which is fine) but give vague feedback on graded essays, tests, etc. Even math courses at these schools can be graded arbitrarily, and the tests are written in ways that are very difficult to prepare for. I feel confident that if I send my kid to, say, SJC or Gonzaga, they can realistically get Ivy-quality grades if they put in the effort, and they'll be far less stressed than trying the same thing at a Big 3.[/quote]
