DeSantis hints at doing away with Advanced Placement courses in Florida

“Nobody elected them to anything,” he said of the College Board, which administers AP courses.

"Tens of thousands of Florida high school students take Advanced Placement courses every year to have a competitive edge heading into college. Now, Gov. Ron DeSantis says he wants to reevaluate the state’s relationship with the College Board, the private company that administers those courses and the SAT exam. And that has some high school students worried. College Board offers eight AP courses in languages and culture; seven science-based courses, such as physics and biology; six math and computer science courses, including calculus; nine history and social science courses; two English courses and three arts courses.

While DeSantis acknowledged the College Board’s long-standing presence in the state, he said “there are probably other vendors who may be able to do that job as good or maybe even a lot better.” The board joins Walt Disney World in the ranks of companies the governor has wrangled with for not adopting conservative stances on education matters. Stella Tucker, another Mitchell High senior, will have taken 18 AP courses by the time she graduates - predicted a strong backlash from Florida teens if the governor and Legislature were to propose scaling back or eliminating AP courses."


I hope DeSantis goes thru with his and ends AP courses or at least find someone else who is more in favor of traditional conservative education and have them administer AP courses..Kids are learning too much Marxist Commie Woke stuff and they need to be taught real conservative education instead...I believe many of these classes that teach history should be wiped clean. The only history that needs to be taught is that there was a war for independence, and America won......that is all kids need to know.....they should also probably know where they belong in our country's caste system....if you are at the bottom, you need to know your place...not very complicated at all.....the rest of the classes should be focused on things that help them in the workplace...not this woke crap...

Thank you for clearly explaining the MAGA view of education. I can't think of a better way to build opposition to your party.

AP courses should not include history of any kind. They should be college level math, chemistry, physics, writing and literature that will help prepare the student for college level education and reduce the enormous tuition bill. College bound students should be greatly encouraged to take as many AP courses as they can handle but they should not include subjects below college level.

Advanced Placement sounds racist so yeah he should end it in Florida. All boats must sink in the name of "equity". We should just go back to the stone age.

Right, because those that don't learn from the past aren't destined to relive it.

This was the tend started in Cali...years ago...
Aug. 30, 2002 -- Recent high school graduate Erica Goncalves may be one of the last California students to be rewarded with extra points for completing demanding advanced placement courses.

California education officials are recommending eliminating the grade boost for these courses. The move is designed to create a level playing field for all students by giving students who take the college-level courses the same credits as a regular high school course.

Double negative, you have paid more attention in English class.

Apparently you do not grasp Biffy's brilliant sarcasm.
He is the farthest thing from MAGA possible.

They really need a Ministry of Truth to coordinate this crap.

Betsy devos cpuld head it up and she could outsource all the learny stuff to Christian educators like that fella who used to watch his wife fucking the students. Cant remember his name.

History is for uppity blacks and fags.....they always want to remind us of how bad things were, like get over it...that was like 100 years ago or 10...whatever, move on...


What about teaching kids Confederate pride and more important stuff? Not this history crap..

Tens of thousands of Florida high school students take Advanced Placement courses every year to have a competitive edge heading into college.

That is not correct. They get a competitive edge, but more importantly, many AP classes count for transferable college credit. With AP, online, and placing out, our Boy had two years of college before he set foot on campus. Of then he forget to wear both shoes and picked a double major. Dork!

Your fellow DemoKKKrats in many school districts eliminated AP classes already. Because they're racist, or something.

Gifted classes drive inequality. But what happens when schools get rid of them?

Districts are eliminating gifted classes and instead trying to teach all students together. In some places, it's working — but schools also face challenges.

www.nbcnews.com

Around the country, gifted and talented programs have come under fire for exacerbating school systems’ already stark racial and economic segregation. In 2019 in New York City, a group commissioned by Mayor Bill de Blasio, The School Diversity Advisory Group, recommended doing away with all gifted and talented programs, while that same year Seattle attempted unsuccessfully to eliminate its programs as a way to alleviate school segregation.
