[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Genuine question- what is the number of kids that justifies offering an AP class? Why can't Lewis offer whatever AP class as long as they have any number of kids who want to take it? Or is teaching AP so specialized that a teacher would teach AP all day long?[/quote] That’s my question too. If equity is about giving people what they need to succeed, even if it is different from their neighbor, why can’t AP classes at Lewis have a lower floor for enrolment in order to increase opportunity and stem the flow of pupil placements? If we can change boundary policies, why can’t we change this policy in the name of equity? And no, teachers would not have to teach AP classes all day. They do need to be AP certified for a specific AP course, but that is on top of their subject area certification. [/quote]
