[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"You can't force AP math (the only AP math classes are calculus and statistics) because neither calculus or statistics are required to graduate & most kids don't take them...everyone has to take junior year English and junior year US history so you have a situation where there's basically segregated classes based on who is taking the AP vs non-AP classes. Wilson is trying to address this by requiring everyone to take the AP classes."

How are they ensuring that everyone is prepared for AP math? What are they going to do when the less prepared kids all fail AP math?[/quote]

Again, see the previous poster's (very clear) rebuttal about AP math... they cannot and are not making sure everyone is preparing for AP math.  The only two AP math courses that exist are AP Calculus and AP Statistics.  Neither calculus nor statistics is a graduation requirement so they can't require kids to take "AP math."  Wilson is only requiring two AP classes: AP US History and AP English Language.  [/quote]
