[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a student from a public school has a C in the transcript[/quote]
This would never happen to any half-decent student in public due to the rampant grade inflation and ability to retake exams.[/quote]
Speaking from personal experience or from the experience with your child in a public school?[/quote]
So you're denying that retakes are possible in MCPS, or claiming that the Washington Post articles reporting on grade inflation are lies?[/quote]

So you read Washington Post article.  Would you say the colleges and universities in the US, at least the ones that visit MCPS schools to give admissions presentations also know of this retakes and grade inflation?  Why are these colleges and universities, some of them highly selective, and to which SFS parents would die for their children go to, offering admission to MCPS students?  Are the area representatives and admissions committees dumb a$$es?  They could as easily offer those slots to illustrious, innately smart, well rounded, poised SFS graduating seniors.  It isn't like those universities are hurting to recruit students and so many slots in the Freshmen class are going unfilled or that SFS students will not be interested in studying at those universities and that having found no other alternative to fill the entering class to capacity these universities are reluctantly offering admission to under-qualified, exam retake habituated, grade inflated MCPS students.

Give me an f'ing break!  As for you, don't settle for anything less than Harvard College admission for your children at SFS.  If they don't get that admission offer, it will be the fault of SFS and you are smart enough to know what you should do then.[/quote]
