[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What schools eliminated APs?[/quote]Sidwell, GDS, Potomac, Holton, and Landon. Also a bunch of boarding schools in New England.[/quote]

13 pages about 5 DMV schools that dropped APs and the 8 colleges that don’t give credit for them. Got it.[/quote]

No these are just examples, it is much more widespread.[/quote]

It’s not…[b]and it’s odd why people are so invested that it is.[/b]

Again, 90% of all private schools (it’s probably more) still offer AP classes and AP tests (including schools like Andover and other boarding schools in certain subjects).  99% offer AP tests even if they don’t technically have AP classes.[/quote]

Because these people have no idea about AP classes one way or the other but they’ve fully bought their school’s line about why the school got rid of them.[/quote]

We are intimately familiar with the AP program and are glad to have better options.  It is pretty much the lowest level curriculum you can find.[/quote]

Troll.  There is no such thing as one "AP program" or "curriculum."[/quote]

It would be troll behavior to deny that there is an AP program and an AP curriculum.  While there is some variation, there are requirements for approval and ultimately any AP course is judged based on AP test scores requiring adherence to the AP exam prep curriculum.  It restricts teachers and limits what students can learn.[/quote]
