Psychology is a science, weirdo.
sort of
but not the way chemistry is
Point is, the Florida government shouldn’t be dictating AP course standards.

Taking AP Psych does not mean you will be a psychologist. Psychology 101 or similar (Sociology 101) is a very common general education requirement in many colleges. I took it for my finance degree.

Same. Expose your children to more knowledge and education, not less. How are these Florida students not at a disadvantage compared to students that have the opportunity to take the full courses, read the banned books, learn the unvarnished version of American history, etc.?
Exactly how are school children advantaged by “gender studies”. Just in a nutshell, please.
You don’t think kids should learn about psychology? It’s a hugely growing field.
The more kids learn about psychology, the more anxious and diagnosed they become...
I think it’s more of a chicken and egg thing. AP Psych tends to attract kids who have some of those mental illnesses. They want to understand why they feel the way they do.
Or kids who want to take a relatively easy AP class.
It is a good foundational class to have before kids go to college where many kids and their friends experience full blown mental illness, JMO!

Yes they should be teaching classes on how to stuff feelings deep down inside.

But AP Psych? This isn't a class that kids should take in high school. AP has jumped the shark. And by adding such a plethora of AP classes, while also diluting them, they have reached their peak and are on the other side now.
What are you talking about? AP psych has been around for ages. And it’s a perfectly appropriate way for advanced students to take the ubiquitous “psych 101” class.
Unless you live in Florida, of course

Appears true.

There are 30,000 Florida students signed up for this class, btw. Offered at 562 different Florida high schools.
