[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was the reasoning behind getting rid of the language loophole but not the AP/IB loophole? [/quote]

IB/AP is an entire school program that kids have no say in at a particular school. You can choose from 4 languages at most HSs and there are online option for other languages. Pupil placing for IB/AP requires kids take a certain number of IB/AP classes per year. I believe the IB pupil placed kids have to take at least 2 honors classes in 9th and 10th and then 2 IB classes in 11th and 12th grade. I am not sure what the requirements are for AP but I would guess that it would be similar.

You also can take a language that isn’t offered in HS in College.

If they shut down Pupil Placement for AP/IB they would have to give up IB because the number of really, really unhappy people would be large, Right now the IB/AP pupil placement placates the families that don’t want IB badly enough and allows kids to pupil place out of lower performing schools like Mt.Vernon, Lewis, Herndon.
