[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just me or does anyone else think this is crazy? It sounds like the district would just rather not develop it's own rigorous classes. Can anyone take AP courses? What is the district's pass rate for the AP exams? Where do they publish that info?[/quote] APs are open enrollment to increase equity but just makes the classes less rigorous while making kids more likely to not be well equipped. The low level APs (humanities) are easier than STEM honors classes[/quote] My kid goes to a private school and the only kids who can get into an AP class is by successful completion of a pre-req honors class. Makes much more sense than just letting anyone enroll.[/quote] Except for all the research showing they are helpful for all kids...[/quote] What research is that? Why would taking a college course be helpful for students who cannot handle it? They are helpful for the College Board’s wallet. [/quote]
