AP U.S. history, she argues, is replacing the teaching of college-level American history across the country, but not with a course that replicates what a student would actually encounter in college. Instead, driven at least in part by an online “AP Classroom,” U.S. history is transformed from a complex, contested, essential subject into something a framework that “attempts to fix US history into a set of stable ideas.”
Instead of celebrating the autonomy of instructors, a key point made by the founders, the goal is now mechanization. For AP English, AI grading is threatening to turn writing, too, into a mechanistic exercise, devoid of actual engagement with literature, that “violates the potential for essay writing to help students organize experience — their own and others’.”
