[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The privates will still have kids take the AP exams, they just aren't paying for/using the College Board's AP curriculum. They think they can do it better AND save money[/quote] There is no charge and no "curriculum". There is a list of content and themes that will be tested. So money is not the reason these are being dropped by the top private schools. It has to do with their market audience of colleges and creating mystique for parents who will think that the homegrown classes are vastly superior from those offered in public schools. This is how they differentiate and justify high tuition. I know, my D.C. goes to a Big 3, while I teach APs.[/quote] Wait, MCPS doesn’t train their AP teachers to teach these classes? They just assume these teachers with a bachelors from Towson can teach like a professor? [/quote]
