Most of my friends in high school were in advanced placement classes; I was in "accelerated" or AP classes all four years of high school. I would just like to say that I do not feel that any of my classes were "dumb downed" in any way. While I cannot say the same for other schools or even other classes within my own high school, I can say that my own AP English course was run much like many of the English courses I have been enrolled in here at Eastern Kentucky University. Grade inflation may happen in some AP classes, but it was certainly not a common theme in my own high school, and I certainly hope that teachers would not participate in such as they would miss a great chance to challenge their students.Emily Hensleynoreply@blogger.com
