[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Merit-based high school admission is so gross.[/quote] you sound like a teenager. Why is it "gross"? Why shouldn't very highly able students attend a merit based program? Did you know that in some public HS, a student cannot opt to take AP classes, that they have to take AP placement exams to take the class? Is that "gross", too?[/quote] That is definitely gross. AP classes should be open to all. Merit based magnet programs are more complicated [/quote] AP for all is complicated. I agree about access but I’ve also seen too many scenarios where kids are not prepared and can’t handle the course and get nothing out of it. Or the teacher has to lower the rigor so much it’s not longer AP content. And that perpetuates to kids that they are learning college level material because it’s an ap class when they are really relearning basic skills.[/quote]
