[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man when I was applying to college a 3.6 (I don't think we had this unweighted/weighted business back then) and anything over a 1350 on the SAT would give you a chance of getting in. Now I feel old and am terrified for potential kids![/quote] Well many public schools curve and inflate grades now. That is getting out of hand. Really hard to tell these days. In Montgomery County Honors English (which basically everybody but remedial take) gives a full 1.0 increase in GPA. And their grading is messed up too. If you get a 79.5 and a 89.5 that equals an A. Since it is honors it is a 5.0 GPA for that class. They also allow retakes on tests, nothing below a 50%, and did away with final exams since most people were failing them. Then they sit and boast how great their school district is. :roll: So no, I don’t feel bad for the kids. If anything it gives them a false sense and not much accountability. [/quote]
