[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also wonder if AP and Honors being default for our middle of the road or better kids isn't driving these policies? APs and Honors used to be for exceptional learners. These are the kids who can typically handle these stressors. Maybe there are more stressed out kids now, in part, because we are forcing them into unnecessarily stressful situations for the sake of our pride or "college admissions" or to keep up with the neighbors' kids. [/quote] I remember only certain kids were invited to take some APs, but when the less advanced kids didn't get in, their parents would lobby the school. Once all those kids were admitted they had to dumb down the classes. My point is parents have themselves to blame.[/quote] Have they dumbed down the AP tests, too?[/quote] Yes… and it gets worse with each re-write.[/quote] I think a 1500 on the SAT is equivalent to 1100 back in the 70s.[/quote]
