[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a grader for the AP test. There’s no standardization of the classes. You can teach anything you’d like. I’m surprised most Americans are so clueless about what goes on in schools. I’m also not happy about the algebra situation but that’s the reality of American education here, there, and everywhere. [/quote] This is correct. I teach AP classes at a different school. There is huge variation in how AP courses are taught across different districts and schools. The College Board publishes a curriculum but they don’t micromanage actual classes. Some teachers barely teach the AP curriculum, some manage to do even more than the curriculum and there is a whole range in between. It is very difficult to teach an AP class where some kids are not prepared for the rigor and are uninterested in even taking the class.[/quote]
