Good point. There are just a lot of Cs given out.  I'm not sure if many kids have mostly Cs but I do know a lot of kids with one or more Cs. [/quote]

One C would not result in a sub 3.0 GPA. For someone to have below a 3.0 GPA, they need to have gotten mostly Cs. That's a sign that the school is not teaching in a way that is effective for that student.[/quote]
Not really. All Bs = 3.0. So, all Bs + 1 C &lt; 3.0. You can even have a GPA &lt; 3.0 if you have all Bs, 1 A and 2 Cs. [/quote]

This is going to be my kid. Not a “big 3” or big anything, but a good independent school. He gets the occasional A, mostly Bs, and some Cs. I’ll be thrilled if he ends up with a GPA over 3. I don’t think public school would have been better for him - he probably would have done less work and learned less, and been satisfied with Bs there too. He’s just not academically motivated. So better he is pushed and challenged. Hopefully he’ll find a good fit college.[/quote]
