[quote=Anonymous]AAP isn't what it used to be. Public school systems nowadays are often somewhat ideologically hostile to the notion that some students are smarter and/or more advanced than others and deserve an advanced curriculum. "Helping the smartest students reach their full potential" is no longer on the list of the top 10 goals of public education systems. If your DC is smart, AAP is certainly better for him or her than general education, but it's not nearly "as much better" as it would have been 25 years ago. For one example of a kind of anti-advanced-placement attitude, public school leaders in Cambridge MA have fought to prevent students from having exposure to Algebra 1 in middle school, because they don't want any students getting too far ahead of other students. https://www.boston.com/news/the-boston-globe/2023/07/18/cambridge-schools-are-divided-over-middle-school-algebra/ [/quote]
