A's are given for "any effort at all"

SWW has fantastic college admissions again this year--better than any private.  This is what the DC private school kids are up against with their 
3.4's for working their a$$es off.  🙁

SWW only accepts 9th graders who have straight As. How is it a surprise that these kids will continue to be the kind of students who make As?[/quote]

This isn't true.  You can have As or Bs.

it's REALLy hard to get Bs at Deal (DCPS  middle school).  You have to basically not turn things in.  my kid is in algebra and this week received a sheet with every missing assignment that she can submit this week for full credit.  Also listed were every exam--she can retake them all this week and they're the same problems as the first time.  If you can't get an A in this system you are simply not doing ANYTHING. [/quote]
