Advanced Placement courses also prepare students for college. However, so do all of the other courses you are taking. For example, writing multiple drafts of essays, doing research papers,publishing on a blog and commenting on your fellow students comments,and working collaboraitvely with others to prepare and present a project are all common course requirements in college. Heavier workloads do not necessarily mean the assignments or the work produced will be of high quality. I firmly believe students' preparedness for college is about learning to manage their time and about producing quality work whether it is in an Advanced Placement Course or any other course. That being said, we will work to offer additional Advanced Placement courses as our school continues to grow. I also think that schools, whether they are colleges or high schools, must meet all of their students' learning needs and be tolerant of other circumstances that can sometimes hinder students from completing work in a timely manner. Blanket no tolerance policies regarding late work are extreme and do not make allowances for extenuating circumstances.If schools are trying to develop tolerant people, than schools themselves must be tolerant of the needs of their students while preparing them for college and beyond.Aimee Horowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114135114869771245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724193114432902279.post-88142392262675614022007-12-27T23:12:00.000-05:002007-12-27T23:12:00.000-05:00It'd be best if teachers incorporated more college...It'd be best if teachers incorporated more college level projects into regular, and advanced placement classes on a daily basis. That way, by the time college rolls around we'd be used to a more demanding workload.LEEINZ<3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10316652383520615985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724193114432902279.post-87526447273049546602007-12-24T19:10:00.000-05:002007-12-24T19:10:00.000-05:00Yes and no.

Certificates handed out with report cards also do make students want to do well and get recognition. More AP classes, quicker paced lessons, no tolerance late policies, and heavier workloads are the only ways to prepare students more for college.TJKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180224678262404815noreply@blogger.com
