Are AP Classes Fair?

[RKMBrown]

Why should education for your kids be provided by the state, and not by the people living in the school district? Or better yet, by the parents and/or guardians of the kids attending.

Where does this sense of entitlement come from where people in a poor district think they have the right to force people living hundreds of miles away to pay their way in life?

Because these kids are likely to remain in that state. The ones that face un - or under- employment for the rest of their lives are more likely to become trailer trash and hood rats. Those that get a good education and move on to the college experience are more likely to be well-employed and to be good citizens. (College doesn't just provide a diploma, one can make a number of social and business connections there.)

In your town, how many members of City Council graduated in general studies from a poor high school and how many others have at least a bachelor's degree from college?

Doubling even tripling the amount of money spent on education has been proven to do NOTHING with regard to the education the children receive. Money does not buy an education. Thus, redistributing money from one district to another will not improve anything in a poor district. All it does is piss of the rich districts and turn the poorer districts into irresponsible entitled pan-handlers.

It seems that nowadays, kids are starting college in high school with all of the AP classes offered. Some students are entering college with twenty and thirty credits. But what about the school districts that don't have the money to allow their students to learn the AP curriculum? Is it fair that these students essentially start off "behind" in college or does it not matter?

Kid, the best thing you can do for yourself for the rest of your life is to delete the word "fair" from your lexicon.

Why does it take extra funding for students to "learn the AP curriculum"?

Schools pay for the student materials and the tests in some cases.

We should require everyone to start collage with no more knowledge tan a 5 year old.

You need to fucking grow up, ass hole.

"Collage"? We did those in art class.

Maybe if you spent more time on your spelling and proofreading skills, you would get so angry about a perfectly sensible post.
