[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue is that the B in a quarter isn’t representative of grades at our school that is semester based. My kid had a B first quarter in other years, but always ended up with the A at midterm and Final (those are the ones that show up on the transcript; not quarter grades). So the quarter grade has no context if you aren’t aware of this. Yes- at this tough private kids sometimes have a quarter grade B. - but the colleges would never know if they get the A second and on the midterm (30% of grade). Personally, I might be more accepting of this then the kid who has never received anything below an “A” their entire life and is going to crack in college when they do get one. [/quote] Yes or no: Does this request for grades show a snapshot in time? Yes. The fact that a kid can bring grades up later doesn’t change the fact that the kid did not have an A at a point in time. That information is useful.[/quote]
