The number of students participating in A.P. has more than doubled in 10 years, and today almost 15,000 U.S. schools offer A.P. courses.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Many more schools can be outstanding.
Whether it's in an inner-city school or a rural community, I want those students to have a chance to take A.P. biology and A.P. physics and marine biology.
In public schools, classes are bloated - it's ridiculous.
I don't think the schools are getting as much money as they should.
During its first year of operation, Florida Virtual School had 77 students. The next year, it had 476 students; then 2,489 students the year after that.
Higher SAT scores mean better college matriculation rates. So it's no wonder that private schools in ultra-competitive environments would grease the qualifying process as much as possible.
I feel that education needs an overhaul - courses are obsolete and grades are on the way out.
I think you only hold U.S. Opens on great courses.
The bulk of the universities are about teaching kids.
But you take a four-year state college, with a broader range of admission, and what happens during those four years may be an even greater value-added educational experience. I don't know.
