They would not necessarily be teaching less of something else. In our district no one wanted to cut the AP classes- not the parents (who protested), not the teachers (who love the higher level classes), not the admin (who couldn't find another solution, because the money just wasn't there to keep them), and not even the district, who never wants a mob of angry parents on their doorstep.

It IS the money. The impetus for the change comes from the testing, but the reason for the narrowing is the lack of money. Our school, for example, would have been happy to keep both tracks- for the gifted and for the remedial students, but we just didn't have the money.
