I have had AP students not do well in Gen Psych, but some have done well. This author sounds like he is bothered by many aspects of the system, and I have no familiarity with the AP system and how it is being gamed by those involved. I have wondered how a highschool teacher can adequately do a class that is supposed to be college level given the political realities; pressures from officials and parents, time, needed depth, inadequate support, equipment, prep, etc., that is typical of highschools....and higher highschools called colleges. I will watch for responses from those more acquainted with the issues.
