[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue is that when there are only 2 levels, it is more like regular and low then honors and regular...since there is no such thing as remedial anymore.[/quote] Our W school offers Honors US History and AP US History. No on-level. That makes Honors on level and AP advanced or Honors as remedial and AP as on-grade level? [/quote] huh? AP and IB have strict guidelines to follow - especially IB, as their external assessments can be scored outside of the US. So even if you dumb down AP or IB and kids who would normally earn a D are receiving Cs and low Bs, the exams will show their TRUE understanding of the content. [/quote] Interestingly enough, at Churchill most of the 9th graders taking AP US History get a 5. 4s are uncommon, 3s are rare, and usually one kid, at most, fails. So for the most part the class does do a good job.[/quote]
