Oh right, I’m sure they let the kids sink or swim when it comes to college admissions.

Probably not an issue because of the the clear high expectations.

Not a "F" = 63%, no work "WS" = 50%, "tardy" is actually 5 minutes after the tardy bell, and any missing assignment must be allowed to be completed at any time with an 8% max deduction. [/quote]

yup.  My kid goes to a "big3" private that starts at 8am.  If you walk into the kid's ELA class a minute late on a day that an assignment is due, it is dropped by 5%. 
8:01 arrival?  That 90% is now an 85%. It took my kid one paper to start arriving to school by 7:50 (to allow a buffer zone for whatever might come up). [/quote]

But the earlier point was that you’re paying for what you want to be a leg up for a kid at a big three and then get upset that any kids at JR get into good colleges or believe they shouldn’t because they’ve had what your view as an inferior education and throw around claims that kids at JR aren’t prepared for college (with “prepared” being what the big three has sold parents as “the best”) when you really don’t know but you want to feel that your “superior” (bought and paid for) experience essential means your kids are the only ones worthy of select colleges.

DP.  No kids at either school.  You know you are talking to different people right?  Poster above said nothing to this effect.

What he said was kids are held to a higher standard of responsibility and accountability and if they don’t make that standard there are no retry’s, 2nd chances, handholding.  They feel the full effects of their actions no matter if they like it or not.

This is a good thing in my opinion.  This is how the real works works and real life.  Schools should have certain standards and not dilute it or lower it in the name of some social engineering BS in the name of equity which DCPS does if you want to admit it or not.[/quote]

Just so I understand, the kids at private schools (and their parents) happily accept whatever grades teachers give them and just live with them? No one ever appeals a grade or asks the teacher to reconsider? That doesn’t happen? [/quote]
