[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Essentially an unweighted 3.8-4.0 I used to tell my kids that no one was perfect, and a B wouldn't tank their college dreams. Whoops.[/quote] A single B might not. Several Bs will. I'm telling my kid to let me know when they have below an A- in any class. Then we get to work to bring it up.[/quote] And therein lies the problem. Engineered grades. Led by parents, tutors, and pushing, pushing, pushing. Kids aren't truly earning those grades. They are being worked, groomed, and forced to get those grades. What are they going to do in college without parents working you to "bring those grades up! Don't be a loser!" You realize most kids with engineered grades in schools that easily round up grades (like MCPS) have a very hard time getting in the top schools even if they don't get one A. Why not let your kids lead the way and get them in a college suitable for THEM, not you? [/quote]
