[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The language transfer option was removed in the past month. It’s a shame that so many people seem to have abused that option, and now kids who legitimately have an interest in a particular language won’t be able to transfer.[/quote]

“Abused” that option? 
Why is this worse than using the remaining option of IB/AP transfers? [/quote]

dp. Many kids didn't enroll in the language for which they transferred.[/quote]

Yes, this.

Or they used the IB option to transfer to an AP school, but only took 1 AP class/year that was also offered at their base school, or switched to easier Dual Enrollment junior and senior year instead of AP.

Freshmen should never be allowed to transfer for AP.  There are hardly any AP classes offered to freshmen, and those 1-2 classes could be offered at every school to completely eliminate freshmen AP transfers.[/quote]

Easier Dual-Enrollment?  At our school, those classes are more rigorous and better taught than the AP courses.[/quote]

Dual is much easier than AP.

It is the bridge between honors and AP.[/quote]

Uh, no, it’s not.[/quote]

Sure is is.

But that is a different thread[/quote]

DE is an actual college class taught by someone who has at least a masters in his/her subject area
AP is not a college class, though college credit *might* be awarded to students who do well on the AP exam.  It is taught by any teacher who takes a one week class over the summer.
[/quote]

DE is a community college class, that is taught yo the level of high school students, not university students.

It is a fine option, but easier than AP.[/quote]
