[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why are public school parents so freaked out by the decision by a handful of private schools to walk way from the APs? What scares them so much.[/quote]

i think they are more bemused by private schools styling themselves as beyond the APs.[/quote]

I'm not sure they are bemused.  It seems to go beyond that based on this thread.  They seem pretty worked up to me.[/quote]

I think a lot of public school parents who frequent the private school board have a measure of insecurity about whether they are providing their child the best possible education. When private and public schools alike are offering the same curriculum to their “best” students, that insecurity is alleviated. When private schools are now planning to offer something that could be perceived as better than public schools’ best, that insecurity is exacerbated.

I don’t have a dog in the fight, other than my disdain for the College Board, and anything that exposes their scams - high schools dropping AP, colleges going test optional or at least dropping the SAT essay requirement - makes me happy[/quote]
