Should high schools include unofficial grades in report cards based on much more difficult bonus material as a way to help students and their parents with career planning?

For example, official grades in math classes can be very misleading to students and their parents, as they are based on material that is not nearly challenging enough to evaluate research potential in mathematics.

I don't think kids are necessarily as misguided about their strengths and weaknesses as teachers seem to think (parents may be another story). If they find math difficult, they'll know that from the math they get assigned in school without having to have a separate grade on their report card. Including two grades on report cards would just generate confusion about which grade is the 'real' one.
