[quote=Anonymous][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? [b]The actual college prep privates around here do not have AP’s [/b]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] :roll: :roll: are Sidwell Friends, GDS, NCS, and STa not considered college prep privates? [/quote]
