[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10 th grader at Wilson. Very happy, [b]straight As, [/b]engaged in extracurricular and a sport, tons of friends, very happy. Complaints about one oddball but harmless teacher. Teacher quality varies widely. I braced DC to see things like drug deals and fighting but no reports of any. Older kid graduated already and is thriving at a very competitive college. It’s a lot to take in and experience but it is exciting and lively for students who aren’t super anxious about lots of people and activity. [/quote]

Lol.  Everyone gets As at Wilson if they bother to show up.  [/quote]

Can you share your direct experience or your child’s that leads you to this conclusion?[/quote]

My kid has had ZERO homework this year.  Straight As.  
Straight As last year (but that was the virtual).

Every one of her friends has straight As.  They joke about it.  These kids are doing next to nothing and have As. 
[/quote]

Maybe it's sexist? My son does not have straight A's and neither do any of his friends. When he wasn't doing his homework, he had an F. Brought it up to a B.

Ok, but the fact that one can bring an F up to a B is pretty wild.[/quote]

You think that's more wild than the PP who claims her DD does no homework and barely lifts a finger, okay? Let's not forget the teacher who can miraculously award an A for 45% test scores? This was after months of working every week and discussions with the teacher. But, whatevs. [/quote]

The thing about DCPS now is that you can’t get below a 63% on anything you turn in.  So do HW, participate, do class work and fail every test?  That’s an A-.  It’s not that mathematically hard to do.  [/quote]

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Participation is only 10% of the grade. Assessments are 40% of the grade, and all assessments are weighted equally. My kid just got an A- in a class because he got 75s on a couple of pop quizzes (while getting a 98 on the midterm). Please stop with this silliness.[/quote]
