[quote=Anonymous]I reject the statement that public school students are cheating their way to a 4.5 or 5.0 or whatever. On the other hand, there is no such weighted scale at my kid's private, and for better or worse (mainly worse), the school takes the position that As are not to be doled out like candy. In a class of 15, maybe a third ended up with As. I hated this fact, but our college counselor kept soothing us by saying that the "colleges know." My kid ended up fine, though not Ivy, where both DH and I hailed from, he being double Ivy. We are at peace with this. Kid still landed at a Top 20 school and the Ivy or bust mentality I know recognize is a notion from a bygone era.[/quote]
