Part of a $451,000 grant. God I wish they did this sort of stuff when I was in school. But isn't getting the grade and getting into a good school supposed to be reward enough? picked by coldbladed 3 months ago

looks like the 'No Child Left Behind' program is working as planned. dumb us all down to the prescribed level of ignorance so we can be fleeced and slaughtered at the whim of our masters.

No, it's not "No Child Left Behind". Advanced Placement (AP) classes are college-level courses taken by high school students. If the student gets a 4 or a 5 on the exam, he/she can get college credit for the course. Trust me, these are not your average high school classes.

By the way, this whole "cash for AP exams" thing isn't new. I got what amounted to a full refund for the AP exams I did well in, and that was more than 10 years ago.

Damn, and I took an AP test last year in Connecticut.

...Although, I wasn't in that school.

How does any of that apply in any way to this story? I'm sorry but I just can't see it.

Really. It saved me money. I took and passed AP English, so I don't have to take freshman english, or even any english depending on the major I choose. LOL, I graduated in '83, I might get that BA some time... except I don't want a degree in Engineering....
