[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An unweighted "B" from where?

Very different to get B's from large, average HS school (private or public) where more than have the class has a 4.0 avg.[b] And B's really mean C's.[/b]

But if your student is getting B's from Philips Andover and taking very rigorous courses and doesn't weight GPA or give out As easily despite only admitting top students.[/quote]

Um, what?  Bs mean Bs.   :roll: [/quote]

oh you sweet, naive, summer child ...[/quote]
I was totally expecting that when my kid went to public high school but that wasn’t her experience in honor classes in 9th grade.  The writing assignments and exams were actually challenging. And most teachers will not allow retakes (which is why I think people assume public school grades are BS) unless a kid got a bad grade.  [/quote]

I am often surprised about how much parents with kids in private school know about grading in public ones.[/quote]

:lol:  +1
It's interesting, isn't it?[/quote]
