[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no grade deflation going on that I have heard of - sorry that your kids are not up to snuff. I have never heard of any school curving down the grades like people are describing here. I have seen teaching the course to the median student like described above, where the top students get A's, etc. Yeah, duh - that is literally how this works! If your student is middle of the pack in the class, why would you expect them to get an A? If everyone got an A, the low end kids would have 90s and would still be at the bottom of the school. Better to compare students across a spectrum of 30% points rather than 10%. Your middle of the pack kid is not going to get into an Ivy regardless of the grading system. [/quote] Sorry you got mites in your drawers. But goodness, OP’s kid doesn’t sound middle of the class. We’ve artificially made HS a terrible grind. The joy of an inquiring mind Pales next to being able to drop college names. [/quote]
