[quote=Anonymous]I didn't see it until skimming your post but I agree. It's basically the same as how the US News high school rankings used to be based on the number of AP tests taken divided by the number of seniors. I don't remember the nitty gritty about it anymore. But I think that was why there was a big push to put as many kids in AP courses as possible and have as many take the tests as possible. The issue is that a good portion of students at schools couldn't pass the AP exams. Which kind of points to AP courses not being taught at the same levels at every school. Where I knew someone that used to substitute teach the courses at different schools and would say which schools were learning on college level and which ones were AP courses by name only. Yeah but I agree, this type of push ends up just pushing the number/quantity of students in the courses and kind of loses focus on the quality of teaching.[/quote]
