[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's not grade deflating. That's normal even in public school now. Your kid needs to work harder.[/quote] I feel the same as OP but have a hs kid at a W school. For the advanced honors and hardest AP classes, as with IB as well I am sure, it is this way as well. Not all teachers but definitely some. My kid has a 3.7 in public unweighted with a very hard course load. I don’t know if they made the right choice by not taking easier classes to protect a high gpa. It is a bit different since public schools give a weighted gpa too. But College admissions is a crap shoot now. At least they are forced to work hard and are learning. Submit high test scores to bolster the application when the time comes. I agree that there should be a focus on learning but not at such a high cost that it creates so much stress. [/quote]
