[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet another thread for folks to freak out on. 🙄 Including all students in AP classes is not cancelling AP classes.[/quote]

“Including all students in AP classes is not cancelling AP classes”. Brilliant analysis. Brilliant.

They probably did this because they have more demand for AP than available slots. I’m sure there are kids who are motivated to take AP classes but do not care to put in any effort into PARC tests. Also AP classes are easy and everyone should try them.[/quote]

The proportion of students who take AP tests and get at least a 3 in one of them at DCPS is only 35%. At Wilson it's 77%, which is better but not exactly a number which screams  "we should push a lot more kids into this." If you have an educational background that's never exposed you to kids who struggle to do even grade-level work, cool, but there are lots of those kids out there. Making them take advanced classes - because, yes, this is about making them take them, not allowing them to take them - is not a great idea. [/quote]
