Speaking of the schools, what is up with the high school math parents?
I have/had kids in the high school. Teachers are different, some better than others. When my son was in 8 th grade the math teachers were told by the HS department to stop allowing extra credit and most partial credit. I geuss we start to toughen them up in middle school.
It sounds like parents upset by high school grades pulling down the gpa. Lots of kids have tutors, I know an A student with tutors. They are compeating with each other in class. Have a nice life.
Maybe some parents are pushing kids into higher level classes and blaming the school when they do not do well. SATII tests are different and maybe easier to do well in.
