[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably more impressive to/useful for public flagships. T20 privates don’t think APs = college level work. In some ways and in some fields, they’re actually counter-productive because profs have to break kids of the bad habits AP rewards (eg trite, superficial, formulaic writing).[/quote] Get over yourself... how many AP essays have you read?[/quote] Lots. I’ve also taught at two t20 privates, was an undergrad at a 3rd, and have a kid at a fourth. So i’ve seen a lot of essays (and understand the grading standards) in that context as well. Also had a side gig teaching AP teachers (some of whom were also AP graders) and have discussed differing expectations between AP vs elite colleges with them. [/quote] So the kids in reg English staring at their phones or the ceiling are better prepared than kids taking more rigorous classes? Then tell us why all T20’s value rigor so highly. [/quote]
