[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In one it did. In another it did not. Mcps pushes children who are not ready to take AP classes to do so in the name of equity. It is detrimental to the children on many levels including tanking GPAs and creating low personal expectations for the students.[/quote]

Who exactly at MCPS is pushing your kid to do this? Is there some reason your child can't decline when its not in their interests?[/quote]

What do you mean who?? The previous year teacher and the guidance counselor. Is your child not getting recommendations on their courses??[/quote]

Larla: mom, I'm signed up for AP World next year! The teacher recommended it and my counselor approved it!

Mom: sorry, Larla but your father and I don't think you're ready.

I'm sure that's great for their confidence as a student.

When I was in school,  only the very top performing students were given the opportunity to take AP classes.  [b]But mcps doesn't stand to loose anything if your kid fails.[/b] They just look amazing for having so many diverse students taking AP classes.[/quote]

The other students in the class who are actually prepared for it lose it while the teacher is dumbing it down and wasting their time trying to accommodate those kids.[/quote]
