I agree because when i moved from my private school to the public one my schedule and grades were all jacked up and it wasn't my fault i couldn't help that we had to move and it was ignorant that i almost had to spend a whole another year in high school matter of fact i'm still struggling to get that straight and i probably will be until graduation date in may

I agree for the simple moral issue of being fair. I personally think it is absolutely ridiculous that I am getting screwed out of an ivy league education simply because I can't afford to pay 16 grand a year for my high school education.

I agree.There should be a nationally enforced standard for grades, so you don't go to one school where 90 is B and another where 90 is an A-. You get the idea.

Same education should go everywhere that is why they invented Honors classes there is the challenge not the entire school private school is no more special than a child that goes to a regular school. Why make it different for those who cant afford the private school.

That is so true. All schools should grade the same way.

"Be in the world but not of the world." this is an interesting verse to consider but, it does not mean, by any relevant hermeneutic whatsoever, that we ought to completely dispose of any and every standard out there and completely rebel. Rather than arguing they should be the same, we ought to discuss the underlying principles of whether the system works. I don't believe it is heretical in any sense to use a standard for scholarship criterion that is offered by the world if we recognize the true source of knowledge, God.

I think we should even though it says in the Bible not to be like the world, but if you ever go to a Private school it so confusing and hard.
If you don't know what it's like you should look into it and debate on this because I need help on this subject.

It should be the same every where you go so it doesn't keep on changing.

All kids should have the same expections and if grades are different then they don't have to try as hard.

All public schools should have standardized grading, but private schools are for those who are seeking a better education than that of the standard. Private schools have different curriculums than that of public schools, thus changing how work in either school should be graded.

The point of a private school is that some people don’t like the way public schools do it for one reason or another and can afford to pay someone to do it differently. If you force them to be the same what would be the point in even having private schools?

I do not think that private schools should have the same grade scales as public schools. Students who go to private schools have higher expectations than students who go to public schools. Above all, most private schools are paid schools and should have higher standards so that the money paid for the education is well spent. Many kids who go to public schools do not care about their education and if you raise their grade scale, then you are setting them up for further failure. I am a teacher and I have taught in both types of schools. I do not think that private schools should model public schools. That would defeat the purpose of private schools. Therefore, I do not believe that private schools and public schools should have the same grading scales.

As much as i'd love to see optimal grading scales universally... Equivelancy isn't really important... What's important is a base standard... Standardized testing is a false standard and a shoddy system... Education needs to become endorsed by girls gone wild and playboy, clear enough of a drift?

Well if you choose to go to a private school than you choose to be challenged and with a higher grading system.It makes you work harder to achieve your goals,if you don't do so well than that just shows that you need to work harder next time .But with all respect if you want to get challenged and ready for high school or collage or whatever than it is eaiser for you to start off hard and gradually get eaiser than the other way around so what i am saying is that private schools have higher standards so the students at that school get better grades.

No it should not be the same, the private schools from my understanding, base there system on how much parents interact with
there children's learning process. Since the public school community interact less, the
scoring process is less involved, simplified.
Therefore parents don't have to sit in at every
discussion-they can continue to work their
blue collar butts off and read less at night.

 Private schools are do not work that way, its no different than public schools other than your closer to your teachers. And they add in God and what He has to do with everything.

I don't think private schools need to change their grade scales. Kids have problem anyway with grades so we need to higher expectations.
