[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My kid has close to a 4.5 coming from a public school and it means absolutely nothing; might not even be top 20% of her class. She’s learned almost nothing the last year. Grades are determined by which kids are willing to grind/retake tests; they’re not a reflection in any way of content mastery. [/quote] This is only true for public schools. Private school kids aren't allowed to turn work in at the last minute and get full credit or retake tests to get a higher score. [/quote] My public school kid can do retakes. On any major test where she scores below an 80%. The most she can bring up that test score to, however, is an 80. So believe what you will but public school kids 4.5 gpa is impressive. [/quote]
