[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has grade inflation gotten so crazy that a B is something to be concerned about?

30 years ago when I graduated HS, (yes, I know I'm old), a B was considered respectable. What's happened?[/quote]

Turns out for many of us, dropping the middle school As also increases the GPA.  REmember, in a lot of these schools, kids graduate with better than a 4.0.[/quote]

This is why colleges take GPA with a grain of salt and rely more on SAT/ACT and course load. [b]Everybody has straight As these days.[/b] [/quote]

NP, different jurisdiction: Well, if that's true, that is precisely why those of us with really smart 12 year olds who got Bs in high school credit courses in middle school are concerned about those Bs being on the transcript. We wouldn't have done anything different - a lower level math class would have been torture for this kid - but he's 12 and didn't always turn in the homework, and the teacher liked  the clever joke he made on his summative, but couldn't give credit for it under the rubric. Sigh. One can only hope there isn't a GPA cut off pile that a 7th grade B will sabotage.[/quote]
