A teacher asks his/her class who would like to be in the Advanced Placement class for Calculus. Almost have of the students want to be in the class and they are all sent there. A few weeks into the marking period some of the students are struggling and having a hard time dealing with the difficult coursework.
What do you think is the right course of action? Lets say this is what transpires in the fictitious school. . . The principal feels bad about those students who are not doing well. He feels as though they have a right to be in the AP class because it is prestigious. He comes up with a plan that from now on the students who have trouble in the class will be given help with the test questions. Some would even be allowed to have the answer sheet on during the test so that they could pass.

How does that sound? Reasonable? Fair? Sane? I didn't think so. Some might say that this would never happen. I would say to them just change the AP class to homes, students to homeowners, and help and tests answers to money. Now how does it seem like it could happen? Well, the president just said that this is exactly the case.
