[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is 98% an A or B at your HS?

At Madison HS it seems to be a B whereas at Langley HS it seems to an A as is traditional.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure you are just making this up[/quote]

DP - The one thing marked off on an assessment, then B grade happens all the time. I am looking at an assignment that's an "assessment" grade rather than a "practice grade." My kid had an A in class until yesterday when all of a sudden, some grades are added and it's a B+. When I look at some of the assignments graded to try to figure out what happened, I see one item under 1 skill highlighted and the grade is a B. I can't tell from what the teacher has marked on the paper why that item is highlighted. If we are lucky, DC can get this replaced with A- by end of year.

Another class the kid had an A in, teacher just added a bunch of bad grades from May and now a B for the class. Had an A all year long and just found out now.

The thing is, teachers have been saying students can make things up, but they seem to each have their own rules for this and if you just got the grades back on Monday or are still waiting for grades, there is not much time left and you have to hope teacher will let you do something about it.

Madison needs to start submitting a note to colleges explaining their ever changing grading practices so these admission officers understand these kids aren't in the same situation as the rest of the pool.[/quote]
