[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's ridiculous. Montgomery County is one of the wealthiest areas of the country. Why pay for AP exams for students whose parents can easily afford them?[/quote]

Agree.  Pay for AP exams for FARMS kids, and let everyone else pay for their own.  [/quote]

This. This is what I meant. Wealthy people, including the PP, can afford to pay themselves. [/quote]

So you'd rather pay to implement means-testing?[/quote]

NP. They could just offer it for free to kids who receive FARMs. [/quote]

"They" who? "Just"? The way it works now, each student has to register with the College Board for the AP test(s) or with the International Baccalaureate for the IB test(s), and then separately ask MCPS for help paying. How much additional work do you want to load on the counselors? Is the savings for FARMS-only vs. everyone worth it in order to satisfy your feeling that non-poor parents should be responsible for paying for the tests?[/quote]

But this has been the system for years... it's making it free for all that is the change.  There has been means-testing all along.[/quote]
