[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not one for big government, but given the power they have, the College Board should really be regulated. Their power in determining scoring for the SAT and creating AP courses is out of hand.

The fact that there is even "AP Pre-Calc" is nuts. I theoretically am supportive of the concept of APs as it makes it easier to compare schools. But the number of them has gotten crazy. If many 9th graders are taking several college level courses at a time, then there is something wrong with APs. This is not the occasional one off genius - it has become prevalent.

And don't get me started on SAT scoring. We should go back to the old system where there was a wider spread of scores and scoring over 1500 almost never happened.

You're overthinking it.

High school and college overlap.

The most advanced honors high school students are farther along in their education than the least advanced college first-year students. There are many classes that are offered at both high school and college, and this is a good thing. [/quote]
