AP Biology

...

AP Biology.

[laughs]

Yeah, exactly.

Oh, wow.

And I heard about the towers being hit when I was driving to zero period for AP Biology, and we watched in horror.

You know, basically all of school that day was just kind of-

Wow

So there's an Apple AP Computer Science course that teaches kids to program in Swift, which is Apple's programming language, and another one from Microsoft, which is like learn to code using Microsoft's Minecraft for Education.

And what's striking about this is, um, you know, like you can imagine that parents would not want, say, Pfizer AP Biology, right? Or Northrop Grumman AP Physics, right? Or ExxonMobil Environmental Science AP.

So it's striking that like the College Board approved the Apple course and Microsoft courses for AP, something it does in no other subject.

Yeah.

He said, study what you don't know instead of what you do know, and you'll be just fine.

And I fucking passed that AP biology test.

Unlike a whim and a prayer, I fucking got a three, which means I tested out of it in college and the other two people were quote unquote smarter than me and they didn't pass it.

I did.

Okay, the first thing I will say is that the Honors It's Not Rocket Science biology curriculum will give them a great introductory foundation to biology for when they go on to take AP bio.

I use that with my students who I eventually had for AP biology when I taught that course.

Now, here's the problem.

The problem is there is a large amount of time between ninth grade biology one and AP bio, especially for your 12th graders.

It sounds a little silly, sure.

A 100-year-old vampire retaking AP Biology, but the result-

Astronomical

... more than 100 million copies sold across the series.

...

AP Biology test, the other one's Intro to Biology.

But it's of note, right? Because if he's, if he was just terrible, uh, still terrible.

Let's say he was terrible in the spring, because I think he, I don't think he was very good in the spring.
