Psychology is a science, weirdo.

sort of

but not the way chemistry is

Point is, the Florida government shouldn’t be dictating AP course standards.

They are not. They are just choosing not to offer it.

Taking AP Psych does not mean you will be a psychologist. Psychology 101 or similar (Sociology 101) is a very common general education requirement in many colleges. I took it for my finance degree.

What did they teach you about gender, if anything?

If true, this is a relief and good news.

Appears true.

There are 30,000 Florida students signed up for this class, btw. Offered at 562 different Florida high schools.

OP here. I hadn't read this. Thanks for the followup.

So, FL blinked first. Awesome.

I guess the pressure by schools and students made FL reverse course.

These students are our future. Glad they have more sense than Desantis.

So when did “gender studies” pop-up in public schools?

Untrue. The school districts do not want to put their teachers in legal jeopardy. It is "choosing" not to violate the stupid "parental rights" law, which somehow managed to ban an elective course.

As I expected, they did not blink. They just pushed the problem from AP to the school districts. Nobody is offering AP Psych because the teachers will have to violate the law to teach it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/08/09/florida-schools-drop-ap-psychology-class/

I hope the students who are and will be of voting age by 2024 take note and vote the fascist Desantis government out!

[Anonymous]

So what are the students and teachers going to do? Hasn't school already started there?

Sad sad sad. A dictator making teachers afraid to teach content that HSers can deal with.

Smacks of communist leaders who mandated what teachers could teach.

I think it's not just Desantis. It's the R party.

UPDATE ON AP PSYCH: I've just confirmed with
@DuvalSchools
AP Psychology will NOT be offered this school year. This is a reversal from Friday. Students and parents are being informed they'll be moved to other advanced placement psychology courses offed through programs like AICE and IB

So what is the difference between AP and IB and AICE? Are some of them allowed but not AP? Some of them Desantis approves of?

Can't speak to the exact difference but IB courses are only offered by IB schools with just enough teachers for those IB students to attend the classes. IB courses also tend to be stretched over 2 years vs 1 year with AP. Another difference is that IB SL (standard level) are usually not given credit no matter the score, while AP usually always receive credit for scores of 4/5.

IB is not an option really for most kids wanting to take AP Psychology and getting college credit.
