[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many area private schools are actually known for grade deflation and have moved away from AP exams because they test the superficial in any given subject.[/quote] Don’t agree that AP exams test the superficial, but as a Big 3 parent, my guess is that privates want to distinguish their product and that one of the draws for teachers in private schools is that they have creative freedom to develop their classes. My DC took several AP classes and the school almost tried not to prepare them (covering the whole historical period, etc.). It is better to eliminate the AP label so there is no false advertising.[/quote]
