[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What? You have to PAY to take (AP) exams?! Why? How is that possible?![/quote] That’s what you’re outraged about? Where have you been? The parents in most jurisdictions have (for as long as I’m aware) been on the hook for paying or seeking a fee waiver. Arlington has been unusual in its decision to pay the fee for the exams.[/quote] And in a crisis, this should be one of the first things to go. Certainly before increasing class sizes. They should extract every possible fee they can from parent who can afford it. [/quote] If you require more affluent families to pay for the exams, a not-insignificant number of them will decide not to have their kids take the exams because the private colleges they’re headed to won’t accept the scores for credit anyway. That drops the overall % of students taking and passing AP exams, which would ding APS in every school ranking metric.[/quote]
