I disagree. If she doesn't want to dissect a cat they shouldn't force her to.

Honors class? Aren't they elective (aka "a choice")?

I was FORCED to take Phys. Ed. class in school and in order to graduate they required me to run 600 yards a day - or flunk - THAT was inhumane! Then again, I lived a sheltered life, in a world where you couldn't simulate your responsibilities on a computer. The 16 year-old girl was neither forced to take the class or to leave it imho. Her mother said, "She should have the right to choose." It looks to me as if she did.

Can someone please explain a a 4.3 weighted grade point average? I went to school a long time ago, but 4.0 was the very top, and no one got better than a 3.99 because nobody's perfect!

It's obvious we attended high school in the dark ages. :o/

Honors classes are weighted differently. An A in a honors course is a 5.0 on a 4.0 scale.

At my HS, the honors classes were weighted on a 5pt scale, and the AP classes were worth 6 for an A. Therefore, the 4.3 meant that this person was (for 6 classes) 5 B's and an A, on average for all honors classes.
