[quote=Anonymous]The school system pushes APs these days. Went to Whitman back in the day and only the kids in AP classes/honors took the AP. Now, thanks in part to Jay Matthews and his high school rankings --which are partly based on the number of kids who simply take APs---more kids than ever take them because it is in the school's and county's interest. The rankings don't consider whether the child achieved a score high enough to qualify for college credit--simply taking the test is something that counts in favor of the school. I know very "average" kids with B grades who aren't even sure they will go to Montgomery College who have taken the tests. I think more kids at Whitman, Churchill and the like take the tests because their parents will fork over the dough. [/quote]
