[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the original topic - the school confirmed that this is universal AP for all - ALL JUNIORS will be forced to take AP US History and AP Language next year.  No other option.  There is some lip service to how they will use differentiation to address the needs of all students, but really, this seems like a very significant change to impose on students right now.

I do not see how you can implement this change without both (a) hindering the experience of those who are truly ready for these classes, and (b) increasing the stress and burden on students who are not.  Obviously it will increase the number of students of color in AP classes because they will have no choice.  They are forcing the student body to achieve this goal of equal representation in AP classes across all socio economic backgrounds,  but they sure are willing to incur alot of innocent casualties along the way.[/quote]

I'm guessing--based on my experience with Wilson students--that they feel very differently than the people posting here.  So I doubt the  "the student body" is "being forced to achieve this goal of equal representation."  They, unlike their parents, actually care about equity as opposed to just giving lip service to it.[/quote]
