[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] I'm 48 and we got extra points for AP classes. And still, the colleges sorted it out. How old are you?[/quote] Different school districts?[/quote] Yeah, imagine that? People don’t all grow up in the same district. I’m not the quoted poster, but I’m 53, and AP classes were not weighted. OTOH, we had plus and minus grades, and our gpa was calculated as a percentage of 100.[/quote]
