[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We haven’t had a cycle of admissions without the APs yet, so not sure how it will impact that aspect. [b]But kids are already planning to self study for the APs while taking the high rigor non-AP curriculum. To me this is a level up in the college arms race, and is the worst of all worlds. [/b]Other than for the teachers who get to design their own non AP curriculum. [/quote] +1 This is already happening at my kid’s school. It’d be better just to have the AP classes. [/quote] Right. This approach is just an extra stressor in students and families who now have to plan for that instead of it being baked into the curriculum and school day. It's also going to have the opposite of the intended effect (equity) because as always the more resourced families will find a way for their child to take the APs or go beyond the standard curriculum in some way, and other families won't.[/quote]
