[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid graduated from J-R (Wilson) with a 4.0 UW. Never re-took a test. Full stop. Don't assume everyone needs an option, or takes advantage of one, just because it is given. And if they do, who cares? I went to private school. I still remember every red line in every paper and learned that it was a failure. Full stop. There was no attitude that life is about learning and trying and trying again. Why is first time perfection the only and best way to go? And why do you think so many adults don't think they are good enough? Start celebrating people at any age who actually want to learn something. Most of the kids we know who chose privates over public did so because they thought their child would do better in a smaller school with more attention, where someone would be looking out for them and they could get special attention for their needs at public. I get that. But they weren't smarter or better. They had needs, just like everyone else. Please stop all this my kid is better than yours because of where we sent them to school. [/quote]

Ok so your kid never did.  But many kids do.  The point of the discussion is that there is in fact grade inflation at JR.  Substituting a lower grade for a higher grade by retaking a test is the definition of grade inflation.  [/quote]
