[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait until you hit 8th grade Spanish 3. The posters kids might have been one of the lucky ones that got A's.  I know numerous magnet kids that had their GPA dinged here. Let's be clear, an B is fine for an average kid, but considering[b] out of 154,000 kids and they only take the top 100 highest scoring/and other info into the program[/b], these are smart and motivated kids.  there are way too many magnet kids getting a B grade with this teacher. And 100 percent of them would have gotten a solid A taking the same course at any other middle or high school.

The people that say Spanish 4 is boring/easy at Blair prove this.  National Merit Scholars with one B grade, and it's the B in Spanish 3 at TPMS.[/quote]
You are screwing with your numbers her to create more drama. It is not 100 out of 154,000 for goodness sake. There are not 154,000 5th graders in any given year applying for the 100 spots - more like 800.
and is it any wonder these kids are stressing out, burning out and breaking down if there are parents flipping their lids over a B in 8th grade.I went to an Ivy, and my niece is at my alma mater now. There have been way too many suicides there in recent years for my liking. Kids are melting down over a B. Wonder where they get the idea that a B is the end of the world?[/quote]
