[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to state that I think the “all A’s in MS is not hard” posters are kind of wrong.  I e had a bunch of kids go through MS and I will say there is a lot of randomness depending on teacher.  I know an orchestra teacher that will fail you on tests if you are out of tune (and being fine deaf is not something a child can correct).  A language teacher where the average grade is a C.  Math teachers who don’t cover the material (and you’re not allowed to retake unit tests so if you’re caught by surprise you’re out of luck.).  PE teachers go grade all the girls down a bit, and gives you a bad grade if you can’t improve your mile time over the semester.

I hate it when posters say that if you’re not getting straight A’s, you aren’t trying.  I know lots of well behaved kids who did all the work and are naturally gifted and still didn’t get straight As.   Based my observation, there is a ton of randomness.[/quote]

Agree.  Those comments about As being easy are extremely elitist.  I think you just have to pass over them.[/quote]
