[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The exams are necessary in this age of grade inflation. High grades at the private school where I teach, and at other private schools where I've worked, mean little. I would not have a job if I were not ridiculously "generous" with the As and Bs my students and their parents expect. My colleagues concur: we vent about this a lot. I've taught my AP class for about 10 years, and the AP exam scores DO, in my subject at least, reflect actual ability/level of mastery. [/quote] What private? The actual college prep privates around here do not have AP’s or inflated grades. Not even close to the way the public schools do. Most either got rid of the or are in the process of. [/quote]
