[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year was extremely hard on both my kids. Thye really did not need the minimum 50% as they always turn in all work, but some of the quizzes and tests were set really hard and class averages were around 80% on some of the AP classes. [/quote] Grades used to be like that back in the day. A C was an average grade. Now a B+ is an average grade. Ridiculous. An A should be an outstanding grade. Not every kid is doing outstanding work but so many of them get As.[/quote] Freshmen year of college I had a Prof ask what an average grade was. Most the kids in the class said a B or an A. He said, “No, average is a C. Most people are average and most students earn a C in my class.” It was a wake up call. I earned an A, after my advisor encouraged me to not drop the class because I freaked out. Lots of B’s and C’s though. [/quote]
