AP Exams - did you let your student go to school late/leave early day of exam

[Anonymous]

My kid doesn’t attend the day and usually skips the day before to study. This is common in our exam focused school

We let my kid skip half a day for one AP because the school allows it and found out he missed a review in a class for an AP Test the following week. So we sent him (and his brother) to school all the other days. This was helpful because they had a new piece to practice in their orchestra class for an upcoming concert.

A teacher did make fun of my older kid for coming to class on a day he could have skipped.

It's dysfunctional just like the rest of school. In the future, I won't let them skip any classes that they can make.

Our FCPS school specifically said kids were expected to attend class before or after an AP exam, while neighboring schools excused their students.

I picked up my kid after her morning exam because she had the same class she just tested in that afternoon, where the teacher announced they’d be watching a movie.
