[quote=Anonymous]Getting a C means you met the standard. Anything higher and you'd have to really work for it (I remember my Catholic school report cards used to have "Has far exceeded the standard" next to an A in the grade scale explanation). Meanwhile in public school, meeting the standard is an A and teachers have to bend over backwards to make sure nobody fails. This is achieved through minimum grades ad lots of chances (nothing lower than a 55%, retakes, etc). So, my kid in private school can work his butt off and get almost the same grade a kid in public school who does next to nothing gets. [/quote]
