Two weeks ago my computer was hit by the HI virus and I lost everything!
Gone are all my bookmarks (and I had a ton!), past correspondence, etc...My
computer screen was totally black. A friend of my husband came to our house
and it took two days to reprogram the whole computer from scratch. Needless
to say, we purchased a higher quality security system and I'm hoping that
this will never happen again! So, beware of mail from strangers as this can
happen to anyone! I hope it doesn't happen to any of you..........
Now, I have a question for you all.......
**Our high school is heading toward weighted grades for just AP courses. I
am interested in learning if any of you art teachers out there are employed
by schools that have a weighted grade system for AP courses and if you agree
that weighted grading is advantageous or not. In fact, I'd appreciate ANY
comments you might have concerning your feelings about weighted grading at
the high school level.
Also, do any of you teach AP Art History?
Thank you all!
BF
