I understand what you are saying. Depending on the school, an A doesn’t mean you are working your hardest and it is hard to see how your kid will fit in another school. You think it is not working as hard as they could.

My son worked really hard to earn straight As at a school but only because that was his personality and he was engaged. He really only needed to work half as hard but the creative projects would suck him in. One time he mixed up the dates of a project and spent about a 1/4 of the time. Still an A. Teacher still held it up as the ideal project. He finally understood why he needed to change schools. A lot of kids were shocked, shocked when their A work didn’t amount to much compared to new schools. At his new school, the grading is absolutely brutal and the work is hard and boring. Hoping to find a better fit in boarding school.
