My daughter took A&P as a college course with dual credit -- in 1987.  Wanna 
guess who her teacher was????

No, she did not get A's straight across.  (I do not repeat student's grades 
to anyone; she knows I may use her grades as needed.)  She passed both 
courses (I & II) and I truly believe she learned a great deal.  She got both 
HS and college credit.

OK -- if she had taken these classes as a college student (fully HS 
graduated, etc.) she probably would have Aced them both.  I am not saying 
that because she is my daughter.  Also, I can honestly say that she knew 
what she was talking about in A&P when she walked out of class on that last 
day.  She did not get the A's she would get today but her grades were 
representative of what she knew.  And she definitely got decent grades!
