This feels like an eventual path to eliminating AP classes and IB programs in high school. That puts talented students at a competitive disadvantage for admissions to elite universities


Exactly.


They need to really reconsider their method because a move like this will ironically lead to more exclusion since these same kids in this district will not be able to apply to the better schools

Don't play games with the kids, you're determining the people they're going to be for decades.

If there isn't an extensive study that shows this is the right move to make... get the hell outta here :ufdup:


I think the Finnish don’t do grades at all… and plus they start going to school at 7 years old and finish at 16 I think…

In theory, you shouldn’t need an AP class to perform at an AP level, but the American public school system make moves with Ill intentions. Your hypothetical scenario could be very plausible if this happens

The main difference between people who learn faster or better than others is interest.

Some people see education as a chore. One they avoid as much as they can and one that does not please them during the process.

Some people are interested in learning. Some people enjoy learning.

Let us please allow for the kids who treat school like jail to be in one location and the kids who truly want to learn as much as they can in another location.

You wouldn't take all the people out of the theater for a romantic comedy and force them to watch a brutal horror movie.

Let these kids over here do their thing and let the others do what they like too.

Clown move.
Starting to question the motives of some of these decisions. Are they being done with the intent of baiting backlash towards common sense diversity programs in the future?

At this point, I believe that is the tactic they are using. It's ridiculous. There are more common sense ways to increase student involvement and achievement than hobbling high performing students.
