The Buffalo Public Schools need to move away from AP exams. The College Board is a business, and as such, will do whatever it takes to make money. I took every AP course offered when I went to City Honors for 8 years, and every IB course offered. I found that AP is just a lot of semantics and exhaustive fact knowing. What is really important is that students are cognitive of their knowledge and use it in relevant ways. There is nothing relevant about APs beyond factoids and time-manag. How many people actually remember what they learned in those courses anyway? The IB has been insurmountably useful to me. Someone tell Dr. Williams to stop with the the "super-schools" with no entrance criteria that turn kids (apparently in no time at all) into super-learners and check into the miracles of a good foundation of elementary love for education. Ask Jasmin Smith, she knows. Even if 2 AP courses isn't by any means an unreasonably amount, a school run following the guidelines of a Business sounds no good. The international bit is great, but try IB first, which is much more inclusive of international themes than AP will ever be.
