<p>In S's class. only 4 NMSF out of close to 600 students...Re: grade changing...S's Math Class last year was AP - he had many problems - some his fault,some not (extenuating circumstances)resulting in a disaster in the second semester after a high B first semester - teacher is letting him "retake" the second semester and we have been told the grade will be adjusted if he does well...teacher is one of the best at the school and has been exceptionally kind to many students who have encountered problems if he is comfortable they are not "slackers" - I am not sure I agree with the policy even tho' S may benefit from it...S's AP History Teacher gave an automatic A to anyone who got a 5 on the AP History test...S got a 4 -not sure how I feel about that either, or whether this is common....but in my opinion, the teacher is entitled to run his/her classroom pretty much how they see fit....</p>
