[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ 100% true about grade inflation in AP courses and then all the kids *skip* or bomb the Official AP Exams. So what's the point? No college credit is earned and none should be earned. All so some attention-craving CV inflating education bureaucrats can brag about more poor and/or urban kids taking "AP" courses? It's pointless window dressing when the kids are several (and I mean several) grade levels behind.[/quote]

And then those kids go to college thinking they took AP Calculus or AP Bio and find out they are behind and have to pay a bunch of money to basically retake HS algebra they never learned.  I work in DCPS and went into an AP class and they were covering basic content in February that should have been covered in October.  They were that far behind.  It was an AP class only by name.  None of the kids got above a 1 on the AP exam.[/quote]

Wow, so Joe Weedon’s comments about AP/IB at Eastern are just unwarranted braggadocio?[/quote]

DCUM is legit a bullying outlet for people that were bullied in HS. What are any of you getting from this besides punching down[/quote]

He is on Twitter making these points.

He does communications for WTA on DC school issues.

Totally fair criticism.  If you can’t take heat, get out of the kitchen.[/quote]
