I’m still puzzling over Sticks’ “B” in his AP Chemistry class when weighed against the 5 on the AP test. Which should carry more weight? What does each score represent? How should someone who doesn’t know Sticks interpret the disconnect between the two? What weight should colleges give to GPA versus test scores when evaluating a student for admission?

All bright kids, and the teacher was excellent) [...] [...] The NEWS is that it’s time to have a much closer look at the way grades are determined.

Way to go Sticks! My brother was Dyslexic before it was a well known item. His daughter also is. My parents spent years not understanding why he had so much trouble. Thier envolvement and interest in his well being resulted in working with his love of airplanes. He is a licensed air frame and powerplant mechanic and has his pilots license. Right now he works on the planes used in fire fighting. Rassberrys to the school systems negativity and a large Woo Hoo for all you parents and kids who prove them wrong everyday. Congrats!
