[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been out of high school for almost 25 years, but the kids that took multiple AP classes did not go on to achieve worthless two-year degrees. Something does not add up.[/quote]

There was a big push in schools to get more kids to take AP classes.  When I was in high school AP classes were only for highly motivated kids who were planning to go to 4 year colleges.   But since I left school, the schools started encouraging everyone to take AP classes.

Also, this girl didn't have a lot of parental support financially towards college.  She was working her way I presume through community college or a state college in Ohio, then transferred to University of Central Florida -- online classes.[/quote]

Plenty of poor, lower middle class and middle class kids get 2 year degrees, and some are fairly strong students.  Not everyone has the money for 4 year school.  Some transfer to state universities after 2 years to get a 4 year degree.[/quote]
