Well, except that students from the SAME school are at least hypothetically comparable.
I don't disagree with you, actually.
Right now considerable angst at my house over this very thing. DD's high school transcript 'starts' with her as a
ten er-- nine, I think-- year old 7th grader. You know, before she was really mature enough to understand that those grades were going to dictate the entire course of her life and all...
Yeah, ask her
today how she feels about that B+ in Algebra I and college applications using "unweighted" GPA.
No grade inflation on her transcript, I'll say that. On the other hand, if she were compared on the basis of
actual course difficulty, she'd be a lot better off.
Every one of her classes means that she completed 100% of the course text and curriculum. Not 70%, not "whatever there was time for."
But she is often at something of a disadvantage among administrators that think that "online" means "laughably easy."
