Well technically a C is averageA 3.2 is a B.
"Here's an award for being average, congrats."
My district eliminated class rankings too. They have it but won't publicize it, so I have no idea who the 26 people above me are but I know I'm 27th because she had to tell me for a scholarship. Valedictorians are just 4.0s. They also eliminated honors English and studies because they claim that honors was a status symbol, but you can contract for honors and get a crap ton of busy work for no reward since GPAs aren't weighted, or you can take an AP class that you're not going to do well in if you truly belong in honors.
Exactly! My brother has ADHD and Aspergers and he's really not super motivated in school but he's really smart. After he took honors in 8th grade (before they eliminated it) he was like "wow, I want to take all honors classes, they're so much more enjoyable and the conversation and motivation of everyone is just better." He actually enjoyed his classes (a first) and was motivated to do well.Why are they so determined to push everyone down to the same, lower, standard?

He took one year of contracting for honors and decided never to take honors English/studies again because it was all busy work and there were none of those benefits he expected so it was back to not being motivated.
It's kids like him that it's hurting. I'm fine because I take AP classes so I've never contracted for honors, but there are some kids who truly need the honors class to be an option. My mom goes to every single meeting where they talk about it and speaks her opinion because she feels so passionately about it. It's absolutely ridiculous. I don't know any parents who actually like it.
Nope there's just regular (with "honors by contract") and AP.Yeah, that's ridic. So your only options are college prep or advanced placement? or is there a lower level below college prep.
I got a 1 on one of my AP tests. I knew 3 answers. HAHA. I hated my AP CLASS.I don't know if it's possible to get a zero on an AP test but if it is I just did.
I was confident in MAYBE 5 of my answers on multiple choice.

I lot of my high school classmates never did their homework for APs. They would only do projects and study for tests. They also had thriving social lives and participated in sports, clubs, etc.I hear my cp talk about grades and some kids have a 4.7 GPA with honors/AP classes. Crazy! Plus they do sports.
