[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm reading a lot about grade inflation and easy A's at in AP classes. I have no idea what school district or specific schools you are talking about, but that's not happening at my kids school. There are no easy "A"s in AP classes[/quote]

I have noticed that a lot (one or a few?) private school parents come on here to bash the public school system for grade inflation (ironic the article states that this is more prevalent in private schools).  I never saw grade inflation at my children's MCPS.  My kids were prepared very well for college by their high school, and I feel very thankful and blessed that I was able to send my children to the public school they attended.  At the same time, I believe that being well prepared for college may also depend upon a person's personality (maybe personality is the wrong word here?)-- do they like school?  do they work hard? do they care about school? etc.  There are some kids who simply hate school and will not be prepared for college no matter what we do for them.
