A new list of America's best high schools contains what we'd consider the usual suspects. It should surprise no one that a handful of always impressive suburban high schools in Edmond, Jenks and Norman made the list. So did the high school in Chickasha.

Tense time for AP students: grade weighting flunks a test

nitajo sumitted ago via http://voices.washingtonpost.com (Views: 26, Clicks: 6)
View Story

Jay Mathews -- "A new study shows that grade weighting for Advanced Placement courses is unnecessary. Schools have been promising students 3 grade points (usually given for a B) if they get a C in an AP course so they will not be frightened away by its college-level demands. It turns out, however, they will take AP with or without extra credit."

Mr. Escalante always impressed on his students the importance of “ganas” — desire. “I’ll make a deal with you,” he once told his class. “I’ll teach you math, and that’s your language. You’re going to go to college and sit in the first row, not in the back, because you’re going to know more than anybody.”
