I found interesting that the most prestigious schools violated the Sherman act when they decided to eliminate AP courses.
This just reflects that the schools do not behave competitively but Agree on policies that benefit them and hurt students. It tells a lot of what is really important for these schools. https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/justice-department-concludes-its-investigation-dc-area-private-high-schools-decision-stop |

I’m not sure you understand what that case alleged.
The issue wasn’t about ending AP courses. The issue was how they coordinated in making that decision. |

If you read carefully this is what I said : " I found interesting that the most prestigious schools violated the Sherman act" |

| I mean, the answer is yes. Attending is optional so they can decide how to run themselves as long as they’re not breaking any laws |

Well, violating the Sherman act is not according to the law. So no, they shouldn’t do whatever they want. |

| Hard to imagine (unless have a financial interest in the College Board) an issue less deserving of DoJ anti-trust attention. As the statement opined, it appears that they colluded but no one gives a sh*t. |

They can’t break the law. They can decide to what degree they can (or can’t) support behavioral or learning differences. |

| I wonder how many of these schools consulted the parents before making a decision. Most likely none. |
