Advanced Placement issues

The board approved adding AP (Advanced Placement) English to the LHS curriculum starting next year. This year is the first year for AP European History. As Lebanon High School adds more AP courses, this is an interesting discussion about the merits of this program.

My hat is off to Kevin O'Rourke (LHS principal) and his staff for offering the most rigorous courses. I like the idea of offering these courses for students who are ready for them, and motivated to take them, but as these panelists make clear there are some complex questions that come up with these courses.
