[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To what extent is the move away from AP driven by a [b]desire to be "different " in an educational environment[/b] where AP courses have penetrated deeply into public schools, albeit in some cases with very poor results in terms of ultimate SP test scores and/or a desire to move course content into a more "progressive " direction than AP guidelines would allow?[/quote] Yes, I think it is this (as I said up above). I teach AP courses in another environment and am a Big 3 parent. Even though as another PP stated, there is freedom within the AP curricular expectations, it DOES put a lot of time pressure on teachers, especially if they want to cover other things. So, am guessing that teachers drove the decision to abandon APs rather than parents and students.[/quote]
