One 11th grade boy, obviously a high achiever was trying to convince his counselor to let him drop an AP class. This was my first exposure to discussion of AP. Since then I wondered if the number of students in AP was one way a principal is graded under PULSE? Does anyone know? Is it possible that getting a kid into AP backfires when the kid becomes discouraged? If we want to have bigger numbers in AP classes the groundwork had better be laid in elementary school.fixitnoreply@blogger.com
