[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How funny that so many people here called OP stupid and incompetent and themselves do not agree on what is the “correct” way to do it. This is the case in point- the approach of assigning grade in AP classes varies from school to school and even teacher to teacher. I have met many AP teachers who’d say “I do it this way:…” and never met an AP teacher who said “in our county we do it this way:..”. And up to today you might have thought “ it is obvious” , but what is obvious that it is not! It usually comes down to what school/department agenda and what is suitable for their student body. And sometimes in singleton classes in school that has other priorities it is left to the teacher to decide.[/quote]

No, it's that people are dumb and self-serving. I want my kids class to be graded easily because it benefits them? Kids should take the class and be graded easier because we should offer them challenge? Not something a teacher should be listening to. Teach the class according to the test and grade accordingly. These are not questions that are popping up in the private schools forum regardless of whether it is an AP class or something similar to that level. It's simply coming up here because there are few standards in public and people think anything goes.[/quote]
