The way it was explained to me, was that the level of classes that some kids take are so far beyond their grade levels, that they are weighted more than just a 4.0 if the students can show "A" level performance. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

It's grade inflation. No knock against your kid. They have to bump him up to 4.2 for all the other ones getting 3.8 for drawing a stick figure. Congratulations are in order though. Makes all that work-related grief worth it raising a fine young man. Might as well start writing to your senator? They get like 2 appointments a year to the military acadamies, right? "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

This is true. "Honors" classes are typically graded on a 4.5 scale whereas AP classes are graded on a 5.0 scale. Today's high school students can feasibly have GPAs over 4.5. Many valedictorians in our area (central Florida) graduate with 4.6+ GPAs ____________________________ Yes, Para does appreciate humor. | |||
