Decision by 7 private schools to drop AP courses flunks — the smell test

The Washington Post reports:

When we were growing up, my wife and I attended only public schools. Most of our three children’s K-12 years were in private schools.

The instruction was usually excellent, just as I found it to be in my reporting on the seven Washington-area private high schools that recently announced they are dropping Advanced Placement courses — Georgetown Day, Holton-Arms, Landon, National Cathedral, Potomac, St. Albans and Sidwell Friends. An eighth school, Maret, doesn’t have AP but signed the announcement anyway. Given their selectivity and faculty strength, the schools’ decision is not going to harm their students in any significant way.

No word on what's going to be dropped next....
