Does high school prepare you for college? 1|23

I think my high school prepared we for college because of the AP courses I chose to take. Actually, as far as first semester of college and the classes I'm taking now, the AP classes I took in high school were harder. We were taught to think outside the box and question our thinking. We had much more homework than I do in college right now. Like I stated in class, my high school had three levels of classes: regular, honors, and AP. In order to take AP classes, you had to make good grades in regular and honors classes. If you don't get good grades in regular classes, the advisors didn't let you sign up for AP classes. I can see the positive and negative in this rule. The positive is that the students won't be set up for failure in harder classes and can stay at the level that they work best at. On the other hand, these students aren't getting the experience with "college courses" that the other students are getting. Is it fair to not let some students sign up for AP classes even if the advisor believes they are not ready for it?
