Yes, I know. I just thought it interesting and perhaps suggests giving grades based on AP test scores is more appropriate than grades based on the work done in class.

I believe the new Stanford policy was discussed in the podcast by the Stanford professor who spent a year in a local high school that was posted on CC some time ago. It is an attempt to take some of the stress out of the college preparation ordeal. But, this from my ever increasingly frail memory.
