[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those kids don’t even attend school on a regular basis. My DH had quite a few students who missed well over 50 days of school. They missed that every year. [/quote] Yes. Public school teacher here. The ones getting Cs and Ds DON'T ATTEND SCHOOL. And there are a surprisingly large number of them. Let me be frank. It is not difficult to get Bs at most publics if you simply come to school and make any attempt to do the work. [/quote] Are we comparing 50k private schools with schools that have high truancy rates? Because I bet the kids from Thomas Jefferson or Bronx Science would like a word.[/quote] You are totally missing the point (or being purposely obtuse). MOST public schools (which is the vast majority of kids applying to college) inflate grades - privates (and public magnets which are basically privates paid for by our taxes) don’t. Magnets make up a very small percentage of public schools…[/quote]
