[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Magnet kids do not get all A’s. Every year I am amazed that people think they do. Why should they. The classes are harder and meant to challenge them. [/quote]

Mine didn't.  Had 2 Bs -- 1 in fxns (9th), 1 in Analysis 1 (10th). Did not prevent her from getting into 3 T15 and several top LACs. Some kids had more Bs and some a few Cs. Many had straight As though. I don't think a B or two makes a difference.  A few more may.

And, they will be compared to their HS peers, so if one teacher is poor or deflates, or course is super challenging,  that should reflect across the board. I am sorry to hear current precalc teacher isn't great. Definitely convey to Ostrander (kids shouldgo as group).  If she doesn't teach anything else, it might be possible to look for a better option.  The one many thought was sub par when my kid attended taught a niche math subject,  so could not be easily replaced. [/quote]

The one who taught the niche math subject. I'm guessing it's the teacher who I won't name but doesn't return grades in a timely manner and spends a lot of time on twitter?[/quote]

You are correct! Ding ding ding. And, he actually told the students he was too busy on social media to grade their work. So glad he's behind us.[/quote]
