[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The terms "inflated" and "deflated" have no inherent meaning unless you're comparing to something else.[/quote] Nearly 60% of a class scored over 1400 on the SAT, 70% were AP Scholars by junior year. Only two students have a 4.0. Would you suspect grade inflation or deflation?[/quote] Teachers don't just grade on a student's ability. There are other requirements in a course which might explain the disparity between these numbers. I'm thinking of quizzes, [b]submitting work on time[/b], etc.[/quote] My kid goes to a Big3 high school and I asked her if has ever seen anyone submit anything late and she said "no." It just isn't done. It's kind of wild how kids can be trained to always do things on time if they are otherwise faced with a failing grade. [/quote]
