Parent: On the matrix, I see that my child has been awarded an 83% for their report card. This must be a mistake, they are a straight "A" student.
Me: They attended private school last year, correct?
Parent: Yes.
Me: The private school report card that you gave us had a 6 point scale. One being in dire need of help, six being the best possible score.
Parent: Yes.
Me: Your child earned all fives for quarters of all their core classes.
Parent: Yes, they did very well.
Me: 5 divided by 6 is 83%.
Parent: But my child is a straight "A" student!
Me: Not according to the report card you submitted from last year. I'm very sorry.
