[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at the AP scores is depressing. I don't understand the idea of pushing kids who are going to get a 1 or 2 to take an AP. Is that really motivating somehow? Just seems like a waste of time and money, if not demoralizing to the kid.[/quote] The College Board says even when they don’t score high enough to earn college credit, kids who take AP courses do better in college. [url]https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/about-ap/start-expand-ap-program/expand-access/impacts[/url][/quote] Of course the College Board says so! But is the outcome due to taking the test or the class? Is it due to taking the test or ambition? Or maybe frustration is an effective motivator.... And--surprise, surprise--students who took AP do a better job than peers *when taking a college course covering similar content*. Sheesh.[/quote]
