Our school believes that all students can be successful which allows us to offer an exciting class like Advanced Placement Psychology to all students! I am lucky enough to teach to a wide range of students low to high income, first-time AP students to seasoned pros on their fifth or sixth course. One thing I have noticed that most have in common is that students seem to take an AP course for a couple of reasons: to boost their GPA; and to earn college credit. When they arrive, they are excited and ready, smiles all around! We spend a couple weeks on a unit, then comes the test! Then I pass back the tests and their smiles fall. Sure, being upset is understandable, but it is WHY they are upset that is so troubling. They did not get an A.
