[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sorry to be dense but can someone remind me why they decided to do this in the first place? Wasn't it somewhat controversial? [/quote] The claims were : students may pass up other courses to get the college credits from AP courses, and that moving away from the courses would allow them to offer a wider variety of courses that were equally rigorous and enriching. However, I’ve yet to hear what rigorous courses are replacing the APs at all these schools. More I suspect that said course will offer depth in a teachers personal area of curiosity and expertise and less the students interest. Especially when you consider these are small schools so it’s not like the teachers are about to create a huge variety of new classes from scratch and then be the only ones that can teach them every year.[/quote]
