[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally. Any kid who gets a B is certainly struggling. I mean B basically is a failure, right?[/quote]

Well, multiple B's won't get you into a decent college. DD hasn't received any but just started 5th grade and we're wondering what to expect.[/quote]

Multiple B’s won’t get you into a DECENT college?

You people are seriously sick. This is not healthy or normal in any way, shape or form. [/quote]

What, planning ahead? Multiple Bs in high school won't even get kids into the program I went to these days. And if they can't manage As in elementary school...[/quote]

Your ignorance is appalling.   The average high school GPA for high school students is 3.30. There are thousands of colleges to pick from with a B average in high school.  [/quote]

Shows what you know. The median graduating GPA in Loudoun county where we live is over a 4.0. FCPS is similar. This is due to weighting of Honors and AP classes, and grade inflation in general. A "B" is not what it was when we were kids. At our elementary school an A = "exceeds the standard", a B = "meets the standard", a C = "progressing toward the standard." So, a C means you don't understand the material and a B means you understood exactly the minimum requirement and nothing more. In spelling for example, a B means you knew how to spell the assigned words, but could not spell the bonus words that followed the same pattern. Same idea in math. You can regurgitate what was taught but you cannot apply the principle to something similar but not the exact same. [/quote]
