You know, I'm active on college confidential and reading the stats of some of the kids who didn't get in... Halo is in very good company. I don't really know how he is taking it because he's away for the weekend at the Business Professionals of America state conference where he's competing in at least two events (possibly some open events also). He's competing in extemporaneous speech and advanced interviewing skills. He says (via text) that he's fine, but I hope it didn't shake his confidence. He's also pretty certain that AP Calc is going to be an A- at best, maybe even a B+ so it is highly likely he has gone down in rank. If it is a B+, he may not make the top 10 even, but we're keeping our fingers crossed. He has an average of 89 but it's also the third highest grade in the class and the class average right now is a 68. There was one assignment that he got a 29% on and the class average on that assignment was 17%. If that assignment is dropped, he could maybe possibly pull the A. We'll see.
Like seriously, if the class average on an assignment is 17%, what does that say about the instruction for that homework assignment?
