[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely reject the premise that number of AP classes is a measure for rigor. At a rigorous school, even the non-honors, non AP classes are challenging...there are no easy A classes (and it is less necessary to load up on APs to be challenged.) Matthews methodology completely ignores that.[/quote] Well you are free to reject any premise. The reality is that AP tests aren't that hard. When I was in high school we took AP exams sophomore year as preparation for the significantly more challenging IB exams. I'm not surprised that Latin has such a poor performance. The only thing I keep hearing about Latin is that it is better than the alternative. That's a decent explanation. [/quote]
