[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sent our kids to DCPS through 8th grade (Deal). My kid's friends who were decent but not fabulous students went on to JR and got high 4.0+ GPAs and are now got into better schools than my kid who went on to a Big3 and worked really, really hard for a 3.8. The JR kids were missing teachers for semesters at a time. but it doesn't matter for GPAs as then the whole class is given an A when this happens. last year this was in physics C. meanwhile my kids killed himself for an A. It is what it is. but yes, it is happening. Please go into private with your eyes WIDE open. You are doing this as an investment in learning which is invaluable your kid will very, very likely get into an inferior college. [/quote] The biggest problem with your post is the word "inferior." You all put way too much credit in name prestige and USNWR. They need to stop publishing that rag because it is killing kids' mental health.[/quote]
