[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you begin to standardize GPAs? My one kid goes to a DCPS high school where he is getting a 4.7 (4.0 unweighted) for pretty much breathing. My other kid goes to NCS where she has done about 5 times the work of her brother for an unweighted 3.6 (and there is no weighting for honors or APs beyond this and limited APs even offered). [/quote] This is why the proposal is stupid. And you likewise cannot compare the SAT of a kid from Sidwell to a kid from DCPS who lives in poverty---you have to consider the advantages one kid has had all their life over the other and the lack of advantages and the life issues the one kid has had to overcome (most likelY).
