Boston Latin headmaster Lynne Mooney Teta told approximately 300 parents at a curriculum meeting at the school last night that under the current system, students in eighth-grade honors math have a decided advantage in getting into AP classes in grades 11 and 12, leaving little room for their peers to join the AP sections if they show improvement in later years. Students can receive college credit for performing well on AP exams at the conclusion of the courses.
