[quote=Anonymous]I think the AP growth has more to do with: 1) people like jay Mathews who started rating schools based on how many APs the kids took 2) the trend towards removing curriculum discretion from teachers and the challenges in getting teachers that have the time or ability to develop good curriculum. The big school districts are totally incapable of developing high level corricyla and so the AP provides a decent mechanism to establish a standardized decently challenging curriculum. I took AP classes in the 80s and my kids take them now—I don’t think they are any worse or easier than they were in the 80s, although there are a lot more ways for kids to get the info spoon fed to them (YouTube videos) which might lead to them doing less work to learn it and potentially not as good retention over the long term.[/quote]
