[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it's gonna be ok. Promise. Life will go on and your kid is gonna get into a school. Life isn't "fair." But an A-, anyway you shake it, means your kid is getting some good grades. Be thankful for that! [/quote] I'm not the OP, but I get where he/she is coming from. When your kid has their heart set on a certain school, and they know that in order to get in, you need the highest GPA possible, you want to make sure that the grades they're getting are judged fairly in relation to all of the other millions overachieving kids applying to the same school. At those schools, they're competing against kids with 5.0 GPAs, 1590 SAT scores, academic research, passion projects, founding leader of club, etc. So an A- could mean your kid isn't getting in. I don't think transcripts include numerical grades, right, so how do colleges fairly compare one academic performance to another?[/quote]
