[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCCPS had 99/222 graduate with over 4.0 this year and bragged about it.  So no, I would not do anything special for your kid with straight As.  Grade inflation is everywhere.

Graduating with over 4.0 doesn’t mean got straight As. OP is asking about getting all As and not weighted GPA of 4.0. The linked article says “ 99 Valedictory Scholars earned cumulative GPAs of 4.0 or higher” not 99 got all As.[/quote]

The reason kids end up in therapy during college is because grade inflation ends the second you finish your last exam in high school.[/quote]

Meh - our two got straight As in HS and college, Dean's list every semester, one graduated Summa Cum Laude, the other one likely will when they graduate next year.

Sometimes it's grade inflation, sometimes it's the kid.  BTW, the kuddos goes to them, we as parents didn't do anything special, no supplementing, tutors, etc., just high expectations [/quote]
