Remember grades are REALLY inflated.

My kid is in DCPS and for 18 months the entire school district did not give a grade lower than a B.  (all C's and below were converted to "P"s which are not calculated into GPAs). 
Then, if you signed your name on the papers, you got an A.  The standards for As were ridiculously low.  In quarters 3 and 4 of 20-21 all work was considered extra-credit.  My son 
and all his friends ended up with 300% in most classes.

This graduating class is screwed because so many kids have unusually high GPAs.  The pool of high GPAs is much higher than usual. [/quote]

This is so unfair. We live in an ordinary suburb (not DC) where kids have gotten real work and real grades ALL throughout the pandemic. My kids have As, Bs, and Cs on their report cards. SO FRUSTRATING. [/quote]

First of all don't take the PP's gripes about grade inflation as gospel. *Lots* of kids had a harder time during remote school for all kinds of reasons, and their grades show that. And secondly if you're going to complain that it's so unfair that your kids had uninterrupted in-person school throughout the pandemic and how unfair that is to YOUR kids, you really should find a different forum to complain to. You're not going to find a lot of sympathy here from public school families who had to manage kids' schooling for 18 months of distance learning.[/quote]
