[quote=Anonymous]How did he do on the IB test for the subject? If he got a 6 or 7, it will be clear that there was something screwy with the grades.  If he got a 2. 3, will be clear he didn’t learn the material.
I do hate how much arbitrariness there is—especially for kids at public schools.  My kid had a teacher last year that didn’t cover half the material on the test—which she readily acknowledged and said she just didn’t have time.  My kid squeaked out a B with the help of a tutor, but many others had Cs and Ds, and they are all top students who were really working hard.  It killed my kid’s love of the subject.  She had friends this year in an AP class with a totally unqualified teacher who didn’t teach any of the material—the kids set up a study group and tried to teach themselves off Khan.  Luckily neither of those teachers are teaching those classes going forward — but it stinks for the kids who were the ones that had to prove that the teachers were not teaching.  The hiring situation for schools now is pretty bad so they are just throwing whoever into whatever spots  in some cases.
