Head of the Class
Worked for a private school. Grades were definitely bought. We were discouraged to give anything lower than a B. Had one principal that told a teacher to take the final for a student that went on summer vacation early. She called it a shadow final and said nonchalantly that it’s no big deal, just answer how you think the student would answer.
This school is expensive, and these kids go on to fancy colleges because of these grades.
My friend went to a fairly nice school, and one of her favorite professors was telling her about how he failed a student who showed up to like 1/4th of the classes and never did homework, but his family was rich and donated or something. So his parents emailed him asking if he could reconsider moving it up to a B and he said no. Later on he checked and the school had changed it to a B.
