[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never disappoint, DCUM. We seem to start a thread beating up on teachers every single day now.

OP, how do you know what the class grades are? Have you queried the entire class?

I ask because I’ve had this question posed to me. A parent demanded to know why my class was so challenging and nobody could get an A. Almost half the students at the time had As.

Students’ perspectives aren’t always accurate. [/quote]

It’s not my intention to beat up on teachers but to shine a light on a real problem that many students are dealing with.  Believe it or not, students who’ve known each other since elementary school talk pretty openly across the board about their grades.  Moreover the teacher herself indicated nobody got above a certain grade.  Meanwhile their peers in other classes are acing the same tests.

Nobody likes inequitable circumstances.  If all the AP teachers want to be tough on grading together then I could roll with that, but that’s not the case.  There is simply a huge discrepancy in grading systems employed at the same school for the same class and it’s a real problem. [/quote]
