[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The DMV mentality for maximum, no-holds-barred grade-grubbing has diluted the grading structure of all local school systems, public and private.  The policies of extensive retakes and no-zero grading have no bearing in the real world.  But it satisfies the status quo and attempts to convince us all that these over-inflated GPA levels are authentic.  Nobody is buying this hot mess anymore.  We all play the game.  But we all know it's just gaming the system through high school to advance to college.[/quote]

Well the rest of the state has lower gpa averages to meet so there’s that. Are they also going to be graded gpa to gpa AP to ap. Extra curricular to extra curricular?  They likely get retakes and easier admissions. I had a lady in a rural town tell me she got into UVA with two Ds sophomore year. [/quote]

Right outside Blacksburg actually. But no special preference there right?  Meanwhile our students can’t get in with 4.0 gpas. [/quote]
