[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish there weren't such a focus on AP classes as a barometer of quality. APs are a load of work and then a test, and that's it. AP classes ARE a test. That sucks if you desire your kid to learn how to think.[/quote] This is the standard IB line - "AP teaches kids how to take tests; IB teaches kids how to think." It's total BS. The key is good teachers. [/quote] I'll agree with that, and add that a cohort of focused students is also necessary for strong academic/intellectual development as an outcome. If you've got that, you don't need much homework, either, just relevant homework. But instead, we've got a focus on memorization, several hours of homework, and getting the answers correct on tests. And parents have fallen in line to want that cr*p! Blech.[/quote]
