[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP may not have been clear but they have a valid point. Minimum grade of 50% along with the push for equitable grading has resulted in grade inflation in almost all public schools. That combined with open enrollment in AP classes tends to have those classes move slower, hence the constant nagging from parents to start school in mid-August or earlier so their little darling can do well on the AP exam. Education needs to be returned to a meritocracy in the US, as it is in the UK. Have you kid take a semester or year abroad at a quality UK university and they will see how easy they have it in the US. [/quote] This.[/quote]
