The Next Big Fight in Education | National Catholic Reporter

The Next Big Fight in Education | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: For a New Republic piece, it is not so pernicious, although it is still very POV sensitive.  I love that the College Board has found away around the power of the Texas State School Board, who has moved several curricula to the right and almost away from the truth.  They can do nothing about the AP test, which is not really about advanced placement - its about advanced college credits (I wish they had AP history when I was in school, I could have at least come close to passing the test cold). With college costs as high as they are, a course at a public high school (or even a Catholic one) that yields three credits is magical - the students have every reason to be upset and should have a member on that board to speak to this.
