[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every thread about a high stats kid is answered with one about grade inflation which is answered by one about standardized testing and around and around we go.

well, yea, in my "high stat" kid's case, their SAT and AP scores proved that their A was deserved. They actually got mostly A+ but as stated, that doesn't come across the report card.

My lower stat kid, oth, not so much.  As but SAT/AP scores don't prove it. Maybe they aren't as great test takers, but I do think there is grade inflation.

But tests can be prepped and superscored or a kid can be a great test taker and an average student but looks great with grade inflation.

Etcetcetc.

This board can go on and on and on. This thread is a prime example.

There are a lot more kids, proportionally, with high GPAs than with high test scores.

If prepping to a high score were that easy, there would not be people wanting test optional policies.

Agree that grade inflation can make an average student look great. That's where colleges find standardized testing helpful.[/quote]
