<p>As a student in one of these schools I can say it benefits those taking AP classes because the teachers don’t have to waste a few days reviewing for the midterms and end up having a couple more days for AP reviewing. I personally think this is a good change. The problem lies elsewhere. The school system is putting so much stress on preparation for the FCAT and does so successfully according to our ‘A’ school ranking yet when it comes to other standardized tests such as the SAT the school average on the reading/math is around a 980.</p>
