[quote=Anonymous]A reply from a junior English teacher (AP Language and Composition): You'd be surprised at the grade inflation that can happen surrounding absences specifically - a lot of times, teachers may excuse assignments missed during absences (this can include tests and quizzes!) because they don't feel like dealing with either a) chasing around students to make missing work up or b) dealing with the fallout from angry parents. I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS RIGHT! But I am saying it happens. There has been such a profound increase in student absences in recent years that it truly does become impossible to play whack-a-mole with everybody. The SAT score is solid, though, so there's that. I just wouldn't put a TON of faith in those As and Bs unless you see evidence of actual graded work with teacher feedback.[/quote]
