<p>My older children were at a school for a year where all the classes were AP, but they discouraged the kids from actually taking the AP exams. Of those who took them, they usually did not get very good scores. So, I think my children came out of there thinking they were brilliant because they had A’s in all these top classes, but no one ever had anything below B’s anyway.</p>
<p>I wish colleges did not put so much faith on GPAs. That does not tell much. Things are so inconsistent from one school to the next.</p>
