[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DeSantis/FL are not only going after AP courses, they're also looking at a "classical and Christian" alternative to the SAT.

No APs will be a setback for many students.  They will be far behind their out-of-state peers.  Also, if he goes forward with an "alternative to the SAT" that will HUGELY limit the number of colleges and universities those kids can attend.

I feel particularly bad for teenage Floridian girls right now - invasive inquiries about their menstrual cycles, severe restrictions put on their reproductive health, and now having their collegiate future stripped away from them.  It's like Florida is sliding straight into a dystopian hellscape right out of the Handmaid's Tale.[/quote]

You are so uninformed, pp.  Find other sources.  Find out what DeSantis actually said and what he wants to do.  [/quote]

Nope, the source is DeSantis and this is what he wants to do.  Stop dodging and deflecting.[/quote]

Watch the video posted above.  They are looking at options.  Right now, they have dual enrollment for college credit.  How exactly is that "having their collegiate future stripped away from them?"  It isn't.  They are also looking at IB courses...... something schools all over the country have.  They are also looking at other advanced coursework from other vendors.  So, tell me again - how does this equate to "having their collegiate future stripped away from them?"[/quote]

A majority of colleges and universities in America require an SAT or ACT score for determining eligibility for admission.  And Florida has less than 20 IB schools statewide.  If tomorrow, Florida were to get rid of AP and other college placement and aptitude tests and rely on IB schools, only a few thousand Florida students out of 185,000 graduating would be able to be accepted into college this fall.[/quote]

You understand that DeSantis isnt *banning* SAT tests in Florida, right? He hasnt proposed that. No one will be stoppef from taking an SAT test in Florida.

Re: IB. Okay great. Now do dual enrollment. [/quote]

They already have dual enrollment. [/quote]
