Afro Anerican AP is another “Special Needs Class”

  1. AP German is a class on the German language not Germany
    AP Chinese is a class on the Chinese language not Chinese ethnicity...
    AP French is....about French.
    I dont understand your analogy... AP African American is just pulling from AP World History and AP U.S. History and does not make sense as an AP class but is a college class or major which students can choose.


    AP classes are a major way to make your application look nicer. Every college will say rigor of ones classes is a major factor in reviewing an application. Someone getting >4.0 taking Honors and AP classes is looked on more favorably than someone taking breezy not challenging classes and getting all As. You dont get into a top 30 or 40 college without some AP /honors classes or advanced classes really. Not all the credits carry into college as it depends on the school. For example if you go to a school to major in biology, AP Psychology and AP World History might not receive the credit but AP Calculus and AP Bio will. SO you have to see what each college recognizes.

  2. Well history was broken down into AP World History and AP U.S. History and AP Government which are the most popular. I think European History is a bit off the range and too specific for an AP class. Maybe only useful for a soon to be history major but they can get their AP credits from the 3 listed above anyway. The more they create AP classes the more colleges will realize they are just bullshit and stop accepting them.

    It makes a lot of sense for the math and sciences as students can satisfy core requirements intro levels before going to college so they can advance faster. Most people take AP US History simply because it is not a hard AP and you get a weighted grade :).

    If you took the AP English class, you would know it was called the "Kung Flu" virus. Mr. Trump coined that term. You are welcome for that free education.

    Can I get a stipend?

    Actually, the following have been used:

    Kung Fu Virus

    Kung Flu Virus (a phrase used by President Trump)

    Queen Rona (Australia)

    Boomer Remover

    Boomer Deleter

    Wuhan Flu

    Wuhan Aids

    Chinaids

    Here's one I've seen kids use a few times...Batman Flu at grocery stores in the Asian food section. Here is another one that ruined my appetite for a while...Chow Mein Flu (a phrase used by Harvard University President Lawrence S. Bacow).

    I can go on with what citizens were using from different countries (e.g. Italy, Germany, France, and England) or different education leaders. Fortunately for you, I will not. :D
