They didn't stop offering classes that are rigorous enough to prepare you for the AP tests, they just removed the "AP" from the class description.

It's a shift in semiotics because the "AP" lost cred because it's so common now. [/quote]

This is complete fallacy. They don't teach to the AP curriculum and kids will have to devote significant time to outside classes or independent study if they wish to score 4 or 5s. No easy way around it. The schools have screwed students up big time. [/quote]

This just isn’t true.  Maybe a weekend with a cottage industry book but that’s about all that is required, at least for decent students[/quote]

Let's face it, the people pontificating about AP courses here have NO idea what is taught in them or not and how that compares to current non-AP offerings at DC area privates.  They are just inventing assumptions to suit their prejudices.

This would be a very interesting discussion with people who actually teach.  Like this, not so much.[/quote]
