[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My upperclassman is in a class where an essay turned by last week had an average grade of an 82%. This is what I mean by grade deflation. My kid spent at least 10 hours on this (a one page essay) and received the average (82%). It's just ridiculous. The school admitted kids who were at the very top of their sending public and private schools, refined them by fire for 2+ years years (in very difficult humanities and writing classes) and is now continues to say, "oh no, despite your very best effort, most of you can only write at a B- level." I have a different kid in a top public and this would have been a 98% there. The standard at the private is just beyond unreasonable. [/quote] How long your student spends on something is completely irrelevant to the grade as I am sure you can understand. Does any supervisor you have ever had care about how long something took you or the quality of the work? [/quote]
