[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought the purpose of school work and school courses and earning credit, is really to guide young adults to learn. Most teens won't pick up a Shakespeare play on their own. They can't or won't read Beowulf or Canterbury Tales on their own. What language are we using now to communicate? English language and literature is the standard. Call me old school. I would argue education robs children and young adults of competing on an even playing field when schools across the country aren't following a similar curriculum. That curriculum should be challenging. The books should be difficult for the students to read on their own. That's the point of being in school. [/quote]

Not following how this ties into the ap African American history course.[/quote]

Because it's not just history, it's African-American STUDIES

Direct from the course website:

[b]The interdisciplinary course reaches into a variety of fields—literature, the arts and humanities, political science, geography, and science—to explore the vital contributions and experiences of African Americans.[/b]
