[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like BASIS is part of the problem here, wasting the Walls-bound kids' time on AP World History. With many of the BASIS 8th graders heading to Walls, this can't be a great idea. Why don't they just offer a different AP social studies course in 8th grade, or more than one? How about US History or US Government and Politics? [/quote] Probably because both US History and US Government and Politics are required AP courses at Basis for high school graduation and students must take the AP exams, which are factored into their course grades. The College Board won't allow an exam to be [b]required[/b] for 8th graders -- and only ~20 BASIS students take the AP World Exam after 8th. BASIS' curriculum is standard across its network of school. BASIS isn't going to change its sequence for the 10-12 DC students this affects and DCPS isn't going to either. [/quote]
