[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not improve the regular courses in high school? APs are a money maker, pure and simple. Top private schools have/are doing away with AP courses.[/quote] Do you know why they are doing away with AP classes? I am unclear on that. [/quote] Their classes are AP level or above. That's what they claim. [/quote] +1 Private schools can offer those advanced courses without calling them APs. Public schools use APs as a way to offer rigorous courses because you have to follow College Board curriculum. Otherwise you would have an ‘honors for all’ situation which is really not honors at all in public school. Also APs get a lot of kids out of pre-req or core courses in college. Some can enter school with enough credits to graduate in three years which is an amazing money saver.[/quote]
