[quote=Anonymous]Potomac parent here. I honestly do not understand all of this whining. Life is not fair! There are teachers who are tougher graders than others. This is true throughout life and also in other schools - we sent one child through the cathedral schools and it was a known fact that certain teachers give As and others don’t. This is true in many others life situations - not all managers are fair and in college some sections of courses are harder than others. We taught our kids to work hard and praised them for effort. I disagree that Potomac is hard for the sake of being hard - extensions are freely given for mental health reasons and there is a large coterie of kids with accommodations, not just for testing but for homework and note taking as well. I think the problem is the parent body that feels their kids are being given a raw deal if great grades aren’t handed to them on a platter.[/quote]
