No Pass No Play

It is amazing to me that there are schools that would cheat in this fashion. I really was unaware that schools would treat electives as "honors" courses to get by the rule. As an AP teacher, I can see the reason behind exempting AP courses, although my district does not. The AP curriculum is very demanding. A student could get in an AP course and do poorly enough to fail before being able to get out with a schedule change. Exempting electives and "hobbies" is flat out trying to cheat the system. I wish the article would have cited examples of cheating districts. I would like to see the list of classes they exempt.
