The smartest kids are from Brampton

[rageking]

I know one of the person who got the 100% average personally.

1. No one from the 4 people are related to each other.
2. They are all in the IB program. Which means that their ontario grades are converted from IB scores. (example. if you get a 7 in HL math (highest possible level in iB) then depending on your predicted mark going into the exam, then you could get 3 4U 100s.
All of there exams are bellcurved. For instance, on a IB exam if you get above 65 raw score that might be a level 7.
3. Basically all the marks their getting are graded by people from all over the world. There exams are not marked there known teachers, same goes somewhat with major assignments.


I feel pity for all the people who are trying to defame these kids on the internet.

p.s. All of these students are in tons of ecs.

Congrats on the scores! Why didnt any of you 4 apply to the Ivy league schools in the US?

i am pretty sure not everyone has the resources to afford 5 years of private university in another country.

OK. That's all I wanted to know. Bell curved marks. Makes it a lot easier to get 100%. Not that impressive as I was under the impression that they made absolutely no mistake on a handed in work and that their essays were insanely well written. If they were put in any other school, they would not be able to achieve this.

Agreed. When I was in high school there were students who took regular classes from grade 9 to OAC and finished with 95% and up. Even then no one really gave a crap besides the students and his/her parents.

Your statement reads as if it is easier to study in IB than in "any other school", which is absolutely incorrect.

[ssharm02]

so the easiest teachers are in Brampton?

I went to Turner Fenton and no it wasn't easy.

meh, report back when these kids score 90%+ in university.

IB kids from the public system are more or less destined to score 90+

^fair enough

Who really cares.

Why is this thread still alive? So a bunch of kids score well in high school. Great, good for them. Not like it doesn't happen anywhere else. Not to attack them, but didn't feel the title of this thread was meaningful.

My family always said:

"In school, try and get in the 90's, but if you are trying for 100, you're probably not living life, so learn to relax"

Lucky for them, I was always getting 60's or 70's

The OP was is from the West End he wants to feel proud of, what, I dunno. Nerds (In all honesty who really cares what a School labels you, if you are not involved in crime, do marks really matter, truth is, no they don't) today, parents tomorrow, that is all I can say figure it out.

In life you are always learning it doesn't stop after school is over. In fact most are probably stupid to realize that once they close the last text book, they have only graduated from Grade 1 of Life.
