[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So instead of asking for evidence from a stranger on an anonymous forum, I think you need to do some studying up on your fav school district.

How about before posting on a forum you include evidence to strengthen your point!  At least in the article they mention that honors (the majority of kids) are doing fine and we can assume the AP kids are doing fine so again it is the struggling students who are struggling.  I am Ok with that actually.  [/quote]

You think 13% of honor students failing a final exam is okay?  [b]I think that is horrible.[/b]  That should be the regular class level percentages.  Honors kids get A's and few B's in all subjects.  This wasn't a getting a C or even a D on the final exam.  13% flat out failed it.  [/quote]

OK, it's horrible. But what does it mean? The kids didn't study? The grading policy is bad? The test is bad? The curriculum is bad? What?

If 100% of honor students got an A or a B on the final exam, people would say that the test is too easy, and it's grade inflation.
