[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, sub 3.0 is due to hard grading? [/quote] It's due to very high expectations, no opportunities for retakes or extra credit, as in public. In public, hard work alone almost always yields good grades. In these privates, the kids who don't absolutely excel are prohibited from moving into APs or honors classes and given no chances, whatsoever, to improve their position in their class. Something has to set the highest level students apart. [/quote] Not really the case at our big 3 private, there is no prohibition to move into honors classes. We don’t have APs anyway. I don’t know which school you are talking about. [/quote] If it's due to high expectations, hard grading or whatnot, do these kids, at least, score respectable SAT scores? Like above 1450+? [/quote] The sub 3.0 kids? I bet they do. [/quote] Based on what you can see in a avian e, most do, but a few do not.[/quote]
