[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I must be missing something, but why is AP the end all be all? Many people might not want to take a class so focused on a single text and a curriculum that teaches to the test. It sounds awful not to have other choices. [/quote] As several PP teachers noted in this thread, there are many ways to teach an AP class (same with IB, in fact). Ask anyone who tutors students from more than one school in the same AP classes: they are not using identical course descriptions or teaching methods. Some schools may "teach to the test" and you might as well just buy the Princeton Review, but that is a pretty rare (and lazy) approach.[/quote] thank you! so you could have an AP history class that focused on different aspects of US history, like the Depression or Cold War? Or does it have to cover a specific set of facts and time range?[/quote]
