[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no grade deflation going on that I have heard of[/quote]
Clearly you haven't read the threads where people are reporting that certain teachers at "Big 3"-type schools literally don't give out any As, and the best possible grade is A-/B+.[/quote]

That is not grade deflation unless they are purposely curving down the grades after the fact. If those are the grades the students earned, I don't see any problem with it.

I do see a problem with a student earning a 97% and curving that down to a 93% because the teacher "does not give any A's"

Parents complain about everything under the sun on this forum - not all of it is worthwhile to complain about. [/quote]

You don’t get it.  Grade deflation = work that would get A+in public schools or second tier privates getting an A- or B+.  Kids that get 1600 SATS and 5s on all their APs struggling to hold onto an 3.7 unweighted GPA. [/quote]

And yet you no doubt brag about your kid being in a “top” private.  That’s what it means to be there.  I thought you wanted rigor?
