[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why you all feel Maret is easier? I guess you all don’t have kids in Maret. There is a history teacher and an English teacher who told his students openly, the best score they will have is A-, and only one or two might get that. Rest will be B or lower. [/quote]

Several of my DC’s teachers at Potimac have said the same. In English this semester my DC apparently got the second highest grade in the class on a hurling- term essay assignment. It was an 83 or a B.  1 top student got the A. [/quote]

Sounds like many teachers at NCS. And to the PP who said said private school teachers have no independence when it comes to grading, you’re just wrong. Teachers teaching the same class grade very differently and the assignments can be completely different: For example, two English classes: one instructor is purely discussion and writing, the other includes artistic projects and less writing. If your child isn’t a strong writer but is artistic, guess who you hope you get? Some teachers are know for giving higher grades more freely, etc. There is no standard. Luck of the draw has a lot to do with it. [/quote]
