Speech about rigor of AP classes

<p>My school, wants me and another kid to talk about how ap classes are difficult. My district is pushing to have AP's open to everyone, I think even if you get C's in the honors course. They want me basically to discourage all those but who should actually be in there. So far I am thinking about talking about how you have to keep up and you cant expect your teacher to do everything for you. If you dont get something you have to learn it on your own. Any helps needed, I have until next week.</p>

<p>matt i think its wrong for your school system to make you do this, especially if it isnt true. Discouraging kids from challenging themselves is a bad idea.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if his school can make him do this?</p>

<p>Technically, isn't your institution violating your first amendment rights by censoring your thoughts and making you project something you don't really think? Well, that is if you actually don't agree with the content of what your school is making you say.</p>

<p>Just tell them only one kid gets an A each class and there's a good chance they'll get D's.</p>

<p>In my opinion, the school needs to do this. They dont have enough money to have enough AP classes, and as other articles mention, the number of passing grades on AP tests does not keep up with rise in participation. Im basically suppose to just give the people a view of what it really is. A lot of them think that its really easy and that anyone can do it. This is helped by newspaper articles saying more and more people should do it. The truth is, next year, there are the same number of spots, but there are going to be way to many people who dont deserve those spots, trying to get in.</p>

<p>I think the only person who will know if he/she is ready to take X amounts of AP classes is the person considering it. Tell them the truth, tell them it is a lot of work, but I wouldn't discourage them from signing up for as many as they can handle.</p>
