[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut:
the entire AP program, including TJ
all instructional coaches and generic resource teachers
[b]half the Assistant Principals [/b]
all the dual language programs
and at least half of Gatehouse bureaucrats.  [/quote]

I'm not sure if I wold cut APs.  Good ones make a huge difference in a school.  They are the ones that deal with discipline issues for the most part.  I've been lucky as a teacher and had very supportive admin and have often wished for an extra AP or two at the schools I've worked in. [/quote]

Was this written by an IB person?

And, no, we cannot and should not cut AP.  [/quote]

That was my response to 11:54.  I was addressing the proposal to cut half off assistant principals.  But, yes, the idea to cut Advanced Placement courses is absurd.  It is probably the most cost-effective way for students to earn college credit while in high school.  It baffles my mind why IB is in so many lower income schools.  AP would be much better for higher performing students in that demographic. [/quote]
