[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why college is so hard to get into and why students are so unprepared once they get there. They all get As and top scores. It means nothing.[/quote]

I simply disagree with this.  My kids worked hard and earned their AP scores; they are also doing very well in college — 100% prepared (more so than I ever was).  It’s like kids can’t ever win today.  If they earn straight A’s, everyone screams “grade inflation” without having any knowledge of how hard they worked.  If a kid gets a 5 on an AP test, it’s grade inflation again.  If they earn A’s in college, it’s also grade inflation.  But I know my kids and they are hard-working and better prepared than people of my generation.  The conversations I have with my kids are more well-informed, and they are excellent writers and critical thinkers.  I just don’t get all this talk about kids being stupid, because they are not.[/quote]

Good for you but it isn’t doing your kids any favors when they are all lumped together with students who have the same gpa but it’s from lax policies like retakes and no late penalties. [/quote]
