Advanced Placement Computer Science ("APCS") is an important institution at Ithaca High School ("IHS"). However, the administration claims it to be, as an elective, an unnecessary class, and wants to cut it down to one section, despite the fact that there are 37 students signed up to take it next year, with only 29 computers in the computer lab used for the class. This will force the teacher, Mrs. Teukolsky, to either teach a very oversized class with a shortage of computers, or, more likely, turn some of the prospective students down. We believe that, in doing so, the administration has not considered the best interests of the students of IHS. APCS is a very interesting and practical class which requires smaller class sizes to be taught effectively and allow a reasonable workload for Mrs. Teukolsky. This is a class in which many students find a career, and many others learn an important skill which they will use throughout their lives, as well as, in many cases, more immediately in summer jobs. This is also a field in which Ithaca High School excells, having claimed third place (of more than 20 teams) at the St. Bonnaventure Programming Competition for three years running, and second place in the National Java Competition for two. Cutting this class down to one section will have a huge adverse effect on many IHS students as well as damaging a venerable and outstanding institution at IHS. Thus, we ask the administration of IHS to reconsider cutting APCS down to one section.
