[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Wilson student is not a tenth grader yet, but there’s no way they could learn physics from a video produced by the College Board.  And then be able to complete College Board assignments on their own?  No.

If that would even be possible, there’d be no point in hiring actual teachers.

Also, I’m not sure how it would work for a student not focus on a course to which they are assigned.  Okay with skipping the AP exam in any case.  But presumably each student will get a grade?  Based on what?  Completion of rudderless on-line assignments?

You are doing that thing where someone offers a solution and you find a reason why it could never work for your kid.  Email all parties in DCPS and your admin but recognize that AP Classroom is one of the best solutions at the moment.

If all you care about is a grade then I am sure your kid wi get an A because there is no one who knows a lick of physics in the school who will be grading the assignments.  I am sure if will be on completion or they can do corrections or whatever.  Guess what the admin REALLY doesn’t want to deal with? Not having a teacher and having kids get poor grades.   Not gonna happen.[/quote]

Um...do you know any of the Wilson teachers?  Because that is patently untrue.  Someone who knows quite a few licks of physics will be grading.  Go take a walk outside.  Beautiful day. [/quote]
