Whatever.

My bottom line is that AP Spanish is not the place for fluent but illiterate students to become literate. It makes no sense to me to demand AP Spanish availability to deal with the problem of Spanish illiteracy. To the contrary, literacy in Spanish would be a prerequisite for taking AP Spanish.

If these kids are not literate in Spanish, they need to take Spanish 3 and maybe 4, not an AP Spanish literature course, to achieve literacy. Doing otherwise makes a mockery of AP. Once they become literate in Spanish, if they have the smarts and an interest in the great works of Spanish literature or want cultural enrichment and training in analysis, then by all means take AP Spanish if it's available. But AP Spanish is not a solution to the illiteracy problem.
