<p>poseur–I disagree with your boyfriend’s assessment of the grading scale, weighted grades, and the characterization of AP’s as “worthless.” </p>
<p>AP courses indicate rigor. An 89.5% in an AP course may very well be equivalent to your boyfriend’s 99.5 in a regular course. I understand Latin may be more relevant to his career goals than say, AP US History, but the sense I am getting is he feels he should be ranked higher in his class because he has a 4.0 average and OMG he took LATIN. It’s not exactly rocket science.</p>
