[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is applying to privates. He was all A's through 6th grade and all A's in 8th grade, but he had mostly B's and even a C during the remote year. Privates only want 7th & 8th grade transcripts, so we'll have 4 lousy terms and 1 normal (good) term reported. Has anyone received guidance from the schools on how to address this? I'm thinking about asking if we can submit transcripts for additional years and trying to explain. I plan to call the schools to discuss, but welcome any feedback/experience others have had with this[/quote]

Well since everybody went through Covid, you can’t really use it as a distinguishing factor. [/quote]

Do you think everyone had the same covid experience?  I can tell you we lost family and we know people who lost their livelihoods. We know kids who didn’t go to school for 18 months, kids who worked virtually from their parents workplace - or car - when their parent couldn’t wfh. I am sure you had a hard time, too. Right?[/quote]

If you were doing virtual, you were going to school.  Except if the parents choose no school, the kids were in school.  But the more successful kids had involved parents.

Sorry your rich friends lost their jobs but given their income there was no excuse for not having savings to get them through it.  [/quote]

Rich friends?  Could you point out my rich friends?  Oh, you just assumed that. OK. And the kids in virtual in parking lots because they don’t have wifi? You know those kids too?

You teveal more and more about yourself each time you post. [/quote]
