[quote=Anonymous][quote]80% in this grade inflation era is basically failing but the teachers are being nice to keep parents off their backs. I guarantee that "B" is pumped way up with meaningless homework and other busy work. We just went through this with our youngest. DD had barely a "B" overall but was essentially failing every test, i.e. real measurement of material.

Not the OP, but my DS has not had homework count towards his grade in any math class in high school.  You can get a little credit for it if you do it, but not much, and there is no penalty for not doing it.  DS has basically not done any math homework over the last four years.  I think they do make the students turn in a review packet right before a test.  His grades have been based on tests and quizzes and there are no "retakes."   I do think he would have benefited from required homework, but his grade is not inflated in any way.

I'm not sure what school your kids go to, but it is very possible to get a grade lower than an 80.  I certainly hope that parents aren't harassing teachers about their student's grades in high school!
