Wow! You Can Get on the Honor Roll With a B Average!!

Never knew this!

Now Dominatrix (SD 18) who is finishing up the 2nd month of grade 12, is nowhere NEAR a B average, but I find it interesting that you can be on the honor roll with a B average.

When did THIS change? I thought that honor roll was an A average and high honor roll (which we didn't have back in the day, just honor roll) was an "A+" average.

Did the bar of expectations once again take a tumble while I wasn't looking?

When I was a kid (and my bios) the alpha grading was as follows:

A=average
B=better do better
C=clear out your room, you're getting disowned
D=don't come back--disowned
F=f*@$!!!

You are to old for new school grade Trice.... that the only honor roll I made... number one, still working on the others

My district does "Principal's

My district does "Principal's Honor Roll," "High Honor Roll," and "Honor Roll."

Honor = 3.0-3.39

High = 3.4-3.79

Principal's = north of 3.8

Why? Because participation trophy.....

If I remember correct the 5.0

If I remember correct the 5.0 scale should apply to high school students taking advanced college level courses.

I went to an early college is a junior and senior, our scale went to 5.0 to accommodate the college level courses, since a 4.0 only considered honors level courses. Since one was harder than the other you got more points.

I think it downgraded because

I think it downgraded because our younger generations are victims of the older generations' expectations...and with this comes mental issues because they don't want or know how to deal with "not being first" or "failing" or "losing".....

Probably more of the dumbing

Probably more of the dumbing down of 'Merica so as to not make any of the speshul snowflakes feel bad. I know in the District that I work in, the teachers are not allowed to give a report card grade lower than a 50. So if the kid has a 22 average, report card says 50.
