This is fundamentally bad policy that literally screws over lower income children anyways lol.

What we should have is a consolidated free national database of all major school courses for students that are asynchronous and online. These shouldn’t be a replacement for school, but a supplement for this kids who do want to learn. This should include all APs. If anything, we should be making it easier for the low income but curious seventh grader who can and wants to do algebra, not the other way around. That’s how you help reduce inequality. Make the supplementary stuff rich parents have access to accesible for all kids.

Alternatively, providing a government funded space (we could work with YouTube) for educational content creators to teach topics with fewer restrictions and incentives for teaching less covered subjects.
