<p>There’s so much nonsense that goes into grades that I wonder that colleges even look at them. For instance, my daughter’s last quarter of AP US was in the 80s because she didn’t turn in review packets that were due on the 3 days when she was taking other AP exams. If you didn’t turn them in during the day it was due, you got no credit. It didn’t matter that she got a 5 on the exam. </p>
<p>The good thing about the school policy on regents is that grades are supposed to reflect level of mastery and the regents exams reflect that for regents classes. But I think it should go both ways. If you brown nosed your way to an A and get an 85 on the regents, your grade should be an 85. That happens way more often. </p>
