[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the 3.2 Syracuse poster - I am proud of my daughter for going to Syracuse.  She was just below a 3.2.  This reflects mostly Bs and a few C-pluses and A-minuses in upper school.  She did not take the most rigorous classes - lowest level math classes, AP only in language junior year and only AP stat her senior year.  She was challenged and had an excellent experience throughout.  Loved the arts program, especially chorale and participating in the musical.  [/quote]

That is wonderful and congratulations to her and you. I don't mind my daughter receiving B's and C's but I am concerned that from what I am hearing about NCS - they grade harder and I think it is not fair that some girls would be A students at other rigorous schools in the area for the same amount of work and effort. STA does not do that. If you work hard, complete the material, study, then A+ grades are obtainable. I think that message sends a good vibe to the students that they can get all A's if they work hard and earn them. I don't like hearing stories of teachers at NCS saying they will not get an A in their class. This may work for some students, but I think this would discourage my daughter. [/quote]
