[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gotcha, thanks for the thorough explanation PP. I am not necessarily bothered by the OOB students, I am bothered that students who cannot keep up and who are not prepared are sitting in an AP class when they should not be. If an OOB or in-bound student can handle the work load, awesome, then allow them to enroll in the course, but if not, common sense says to put them in the regular class.

Some APs are far harder than others, and a couple are pretty easy. And some require a pre-requisite (AP Calc).  [/quote]

Doesn’t matter.  There should be academic requirements to be in an AP class with similar performing peer groups.  Of course with math you need to do some pre-requisite courses, that’s a given.

Just drop the AP then if it’s open to all.  Or make it AP for all, just like honors for all.  What a joke.[/quote]

I’m not sure it would even be called AP if there are t any stringent requirements for the course. AP means advanced placement, rather the class should be all academic government (since perhaps some of the work will be challenging), academic statistics, academic biology. [/quote]

I thought that at Wilson AP classes were open to everyone, no?[/quote]

Most are. But they won't let you register for calculus if you've only taken Alg 1, for example (Alg 1 is on level for DCPS in 9th).
