AP Subworld
Amy F
Many APs are not included in any of the main subworlds. I want to propose an idea that allows schoolhouse to serve all AP students.
Problem 1: Many AP students might not be able to find appropriate tutors for the APs that are part of the main subworlds (such as AP Psychology) because there is no certification system for them. For example, you can find an AP psychology session in enrichment sometimes but you can't make sure that the tutor is actually qualified with it.
Problem 2: You can't ask questions in the enrichment subworld for APs not covered in other subworlds.
APs are important for college admissions and readiness. But sometimes highschools report offering APs but they are not giving sufficient prep and support for them.
Solution option 1: Have a subworld for all AP subjects not covered by the other subworlds (such as AP psych, AP seminar, AP research, AP precalc, AP Environmental Science, AP Languages, AP 2D Art, etc.....)
Solution option 2: Have a subworld for all AP subjects.
Considerations and obstacles to such ideas:
1) Either subworld ideas will need more advanced filtering systems for tutors and learners to be able to work properly. For example, in the area to ask questions there should be a property to see questions by subject. So instead of only filtering by solved and not solved there should be ability to see only questions from a specific subject.
2) There should be a more advanced system in the subworld so that you are only a tutor inside specific subjects that you are certified in.

Hey Amy, thanks for sharing this. The way our site is currently structured places AP subjects within a subworld as opposed to in their own subworld. This makes it easier for us to ensure that tutors are appropriately certified in the AP subjects they are interested in tutoring or showing proficiency in. We hope to add more topics, including AP topics, to our existing list of subworlds in the future.
