[quote=Anonymous]Not to be the bearer of bad news but I’m a teacher. there is significant grade inflation. The school I teach at: the average unweighted gpa is a 3.7. And kids can barely read and write. I don’t have kids in high school, but I don’t think I’d care at all about gpa. I would care more about how much they are working and learning. That matters significantly more than gpa and grades. I’m looking to send my kids to private one day, but don’t know where to find meaningful rigor. But, Bs and Cs are what D’s and Fs used to be. Teachers can’t give authentic grades anymore because the teachers who do get terrorized for having high expectations. So, look at the evidence in front of you: if she is on YouTube or what not and not studying much, she’s probably not learning much either. I wish this was a bigger concern to society and parents - than packaging kids as marketable objects for college. [/quote]
