Advanced Placement Courses

At 33.3 percent, Arkansas remains one of the states with the highest percentage of public high school 2008 graduates who have taken at least one Advanced Placement (AP) Exam during their high school careers, according to a report released by the College Board today. Only four states had a larger percentage of AP test-taking seniors last spring: Maryland (37.2), New York (35.4) Florida (34.0) and Virginia (34.1). Nationally, 25 percent of high school students have participated in at least one AP exam during high school.

"Dumb Jocks" - Fact or Myth?

At one point in our society there was a reference to a great percentage of high school athletes as "Dumb Jocks". This reference probably came to term because of the lack of time many of the athletes spent in school. They were seasonal students (football, basketball) with seasonal working jobs (spring).

Some tags, like those hanging from a mattress, can't be removed, but should at least be revised. In Arkansas educators have known for decades that the tag "Dumb Jock" did not apply to the students in thousands of classrooms across the state.
