[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have any evidence that there are lots of kids who “significantly” improved their grades because of virtual learning?

Also, this class had half of their 6 semesters virtual. Hard to know whether they would have improved anyway.  And agree that test scores should be submitted.

I have a friend who made it her full time job to do her junior’s homework and tests. No joke. This kid has straight As and didn’t do a thing.

In my daughter’s experience, a lot of friends were cheating by using facetime and texting during tests. One friend got caught cheating on tests, submitting the same paper as a friend twice, etc and still got an A. The regular level classes made it very easy to cheat because they give standard multiple choice tests, but in the IB classes, every test given is an essay test and there is really no way to cheat, so grades were pretty normal.

Your “friend” sounds like an outlier.  My kid has been working her butt off all year in virtual classes.  She has a mix of grades and earned every one of them, including the As.

Really sick of this insinuation that kids with As must have cheated.  Perhaps yours did.  That’s all you need to worry about.[/quote]

[b]If your kid doesn’t have straight As that are a stark contrast to the rest of their academic record, no one is even talking to you. Chill.[/b]
