Home schooling in CA

Okay, I explained it to him the way like your teachers did it.

It was finals for them, and, I think they moved the date up on them, probably not enough studying, most likely not as I didn't see my son studying.

The test had 50 questions. The teacher told them that only 4 students passed, my son had a 35 or 36. None had over 40, all were between 35-39. So, after a day of thinking I guess the teacher decided to grade on a 'curve' he said.

Not that I am happy about it, I want him to be challenged and pushed. But...if he gets an 'A' then his final grade in this class is an 'A'. Keeps him in his Compact for Success. I am proud of his score and I am proud that he is one of the only four who passed.

Thanks, Alex. I will let him know the teachers are not using an official 'curve'. Ha, I'll let him read your post.
