[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Anyone can take an AP class. [/b] You don’t have to “qualify” therefore it isn’t racist that some races are over represented. This is a parenting and home life problem, not a school problem. School can’t fix and compensate for an unstable home with uneducated parents (or just one, or maybe just grandma). That is the reason for under-representation. Asian and Indian parents put education as a top, non-negotiable priority. Kids are made to study and do extra work and are taught early on that is the only way ahead, their parents are their coaching them along the way. Other races should take note. [/quote] This might be true in public school districts but not private. The only way to take an AP class at my son's private school is to get an A in the honors class before it or have the high school placement test scores in the top percentiles for the one AP course offered in 9th grade. That's it. [/quote]
