[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid they didn't give bonus points for AP or honors classes. Of course, there were a few kids who ended up fairly high in our class rank that never took a hard class but that was something colleges could sort out. The downside today is it incentivizes everyone to take these classes but not everyone should be in them. Consequently, the courses get dumbed down. I swear this is more of the everyone gets a trophy for showing up cult.[/quote] My neighbor's kid takes a lot of honors and AP courses but doesn't do well in them but his school continues to allow anyone to take them despite prior poor performance. Even his mother said he shouldn't be in them but the school wants to report high GPAs so tons of students take them even though they shouldn't be in them.[/quote]
