[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hope she could win the case. Our public school students will follow to sue MCPS, especially Blair and other magnet program. [/quote]

Do they stiff students’ grades too and send out incorrect transcripts?[/quote
Teachers always mess up with tgrades by mistake. Don’t you know that?  Never hear a mistake in one test will ruin the whole academic performance. If she was at top of her class, for example top 10%, they would have provided more concrete evidences in stead of these vague descriptions.  Come on, use your common sense .[/quote]

My dear, teachers do not always mess up with "Tgrades" by mistake. When they do though, the school would routinely send the corrected grades and transcripts and would not "mess up" someone's applications the way the math teachers at Sidwell seem to have done. Use your common sense.

Regardless of the merits of the lawsuit, what this case lets us see is the inner workings of Sidwell's grading and it leaves an uncomfortable taste in the mouth.[/quote]

Maybe Sidwell corrected her grades not because she deserved the higher grade but because they were tired of arguing with her. Perhaps the classes were graded to a curve.

Plenty of AA and URM students have graduated from Sidwell and gone on to the best universities in this country. Somehow they managed. This girl's case that her treatment was based on racism is quite weak and insufficient.

My dear, common sense is quite clear here. The family and their daughter were pushy, obnoxious and demanding and ruined any relationship with the school and caused the school faculty to write mediocre recommendations because the colleges ask the teachers to be frank and honest in the recommendations, and she was rejected at almost all the colleges she applied to, which were also among the most competitive schools in the country.

In a word, yes, the school retaliated! The parents have a cause.[/quote]
