[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, in your experience what do you think is the solution for the first problem? Sounds like it helps to let students choose whether they want to join advanced classes? [/quote] DP, but what I'd like to see is: Open enrollment for all AP courses. There should be a program like AVID to provide support for underrepresented students in AP courses. Any teacher who has too many URM students drop out of AP classes should be removed from teaching AP. If there are enough teachers who are themselves AA or some other underrepresented group, it would be great to have more of those teachers handling the AP courses. Eliminating AP classes is a terrible idea. You'd be taking something away from talented URMs who can handle the advanced coursework, but not really taking something away from wealthier white and Asian kids, who would leave for private school.
