One AP government teacher, Michael Grill of Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va., said, “When administrators can trade on the cachet of their school’s reputation to help get their students into college, it’s really not that bold nor courageous to abandon a metric that can contribute to leveling the playing field.”

Well yes. Because the schools have a reputation for challenging coursework and accomplished students, they don't need someone else's stamp to say they have challenging coursework and accomplished students. If the schools fail to produce accomplished students, by means of challenging coursework, they will no longer be able to trade on their reputation.

This isn't just true for private schools. I don't think anyone would argue that TJ, for example, doesn't also have the ability to trade on their schools reputation, outside of any external authority branding their students as accomplished and their coursework as challenging.

Michael Grill gets an A+ for stating the obvious. If you consistently produce an excellent product, you will have a reputation for consistently producing an excellent product.[/quote]
