Somehow, I can’t imagine too many of these kids will qualify for the AP exams, as you have to take these advanced courses in the first place before you sit for the exams. Sounds like many of the funds going towards this latest effort will end up in the hands of the bureaucrats who “administer” the program.

I’m sure the cost to the “paying” students of middle class families, though, will likely see their fees raised.

New and creative ways to fleece the taxpayers ...

Pretty much. The per test cost here jumped $30 because the feds decided to partially 'defund' the testing.

Personally, I think it's just a maneuver by the feds to 'tweak' the middle class into falling for the 'see what happens to YOU when we don't have enough money?' gambit.

Just like local bureaucrats 'defund' garbage and police services.

It's all just different versions of the same thing.
