[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would vote for doing away with AP CLASSES altogether.

Let them start taking college classes...when they hit college.

The real requires people of different intellectual capabilities to work together.

I think it is a big money-making scam. It also makes school administrators feel superior, based upon the performance of their students. [/quote]

Everyone knows it is a scam. [b]Look at the high failure rate.[/b] That is the only reason colleges still accept them. If the majority were passing, colleges would say no thanks. Actually schools are Harvard and others are no longer accepting any AP’s, any score. Even 5. [/quote]

Even schools that don't accept AP *credit*, still consider AP classes as worthwhile. These classes should be looked at as "preparatory" courses for college, getting the student ready for higher level critical thinking. If you get credit, awesome. If not, it helped to prepare the student for college courses.[/quote]
