[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is stressing their kid out except the parents who insist on the ritualistic stuff, that won't matter in six months.

Maybe in your world the parents rely on "4 SATs" or sports, which you have cited, but not in my world.

And the academics are not fair, because everyone is getting a boost, but the smart kids.  How on earth it that fair?  Hint:  it is not. [/quote]

Do you know whether that's happening? Hopefully teachers won't do that. They have an increased role to play to separate out the A students from B students. Colleges will rely more on HS transcript.[/quote]
Not PP, but many high schools have gone to P/F or intentional grade inflation for this semester, each of which have different consequences.  I think the bottom line is that colleges won't rely much on second semester junior yr grades.

If second semester junior year grades are taken with a massive grain of salt or not counted at all, the upward-trend, late-bloomer student may not have enough grades on the transcript for EA/ED1.  Maybe they get deferred to RD?[/quote]

There are some kids who earned A's, and the recommendations will reflect that.  Hard for you to believe, I know.[/quote]
