[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the mastery transcript solves so many problems with grades, be it inflation, or differences in rigor. I don’t think I saw any of the big DC privates on the list. That’s a shame.[/quote] However, it leaves so much more of your future to the subjective views and writing skills of each teacher and also highly favors the extrovert. Our kids have been in schools with that transcript and some teachers handled it very well and were thoughtful and thorough, while other manipulated it to make themselves look good (look how much this student improved under my tutelage), and others gave the same vague, random remarks for everyone as if selecting from a menu. Basically all this is doing is turning over the college admissions process to the high school teachers -- tell us who you think we should accept with no room for the student to input contrary data, like standardized test scores.[/quote]
