[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids this will hurt are: -The top achievers (especially the Asian, white top kids) at public schools that grade inflate everyone. One less data point to tell the difference between great kids and everyone else who was just inflated to an A. Huge problem in a place like DCPS where you get an A for signing in. -Kids from unknown/small schools (private and to a lesser extent public) that have strict grading. -Kid from schools that don't have advanced courses. Who it will help: -Kids from brand name privates that the colleges know and who don't grade inflate (Sidwell, etc). -Minority kids [/quote] There are many public HS that do not “grade inflate” {sic}. Colleges know a great deal about each high school, and keep data regarding the performance of attendees from each HS. Like many changes, it is “fair” to some and “less fair” to others, but that of course demands that the system was “unfair to some” prior.[/quote]
