Re: I met a girl last night, she is a high school senior
Also, some colleges don't count Ap classes. University of Rochester is one I know of for sure..... and since I'm a guiadance counselor I should know more.
AP will eventually be going away anyways, and International Baccalaureates degrees will take its place. This girls is also doing her high school a favor. By so obviously exploiting a loophole they will have to change the system. You should simply not be aloud to be Valedictorian without taking multiple AP classes. And why are you hanging around with high school girls? Ken |

The school has done the other students a disservice by not weighting AP classes. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. [ QUOTE ] Her parents have done her a disservice by not insisting she work to her capabilities. [/ QUOTE ] No, there's nothing wrong with someone playing the game differently than you think it should be played. [ QUOTE ] They had an opportunity to instill character and did not. [/ QUOTE ] How? She worked hard to accomplish her goals. Her goals just happened to be different from other people's goals. Seems to me she has plenty of "character". [ QUOTE ] She has done herself a disservice by not acquiring the knowledge available to her. [/ QUOTE ] Knowledge? High school? LOL [ QUOTE ] The additional knowledge that she did not acquire would have served her well in her next level of schooling. [/ QUOTE ] Not really. Being valedictorian will serve her better. What she really missed out on, which you failed to mention, was free college credits from AP classes. As such, she's going to end up taking those classes anyway and getting all that "knowledge" you think she's missing out on. [ QUOTE ] Her next level of education will be that much harder because of this. [/ QUOTE ] True, like one additional semester. Not much really over the coarse of one's life and being valedictorian is something she'll probably treasure more throughout her life than having to take an additional semester of college. [ QUOTE ] She is the Barry Bonds of class ranking, she deserves an asterisk on the program. [/ QUOTE ] This is just retarded. She didn't do anything questionable to get what she got. It's the system that's questionable, not her actions. |
