[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all schools have grade inflation. That'a actually a benefit of many private schools. They don't inflate grades so colleges have a better read on an applicant. No retakes means their students get what they get. No need to try to figure out of the grade is the result of multiple attempts.[/quote]
My 10th grader has no retakes at MCPS all honors and AP classes, the only grades that are “easy” are Health and Music. The rest he has to work for, and has high Bs currently in two classes! (The horror!)I also have a child at an “intense” private in DC. They have to study more for an A, but not that much. I think this comment I heard people throw around of “all public schools have inflated grades” is not true. School and Teacher dependent. My private school student can raise test grades with test corrections, while my public school kid has teachers who do not allow retakes and will not raise grade with test corrections. Go figure?[/quote]

No one said all publics have inflated grades or that no private schools have inflated grades,  just that there are more public schools with obvious grade inflation than private schools in the DMV.[/quote]
