[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you voluntarily choose private school, know that it is going to make your child look privileged and that you’re choosing to take a risk regarding the grading system.[/quote] private schools, including many prestigious colleges, don't want to lower their average GPA, so they will do whatever it takes to make sure that a student passes the class. K-12 Public schools have the stupid 50% rule for a different reason[b], but it amounts to the same thing,[/b] except the SES of the student body that it impact is just different. Large college public schools are a sink or swim. [/quote] Do you think the kids relying on the 50% rule in order to pass a class are the same kids competing for slots in the schools OP cares about? [/quote] ? the point of the post is about how the system "helps" certain students with their grades, not about competing for the same college spots.[/quote]
