Should I pull my DS out of his AP class?

I agree. It’s setting kids up for failure instead of giving everyone a chance to like the class.

Or ... it weeds out the kids who maybe should not be taking advanced classes. Like maybe OP’s kid...

+1.

My college bound kid took 1 AP in 10th (World), 3 in 11th (APUSH, AP Lit, Geo) , and has 4 plus DE English in 12th (or 6? I’m never sure how to count comparative government or macro/micro econ, which both are two tests— plus calculus and AP Latin). Not a STEM kid, obviously. You want the kid to take 1 by 10th so that he can get a handle on what an appropriate load is for junior year. He doesn’t want to just jump into 3-4 in 11th.

What? Are only some kids given the chance to do the summer assignment? No.

If your kid can't manage one summer assignment on his own when he has months to do it, how will he manage 6+ courses at the same time?

The months to do it probably is the problem. I think we all work faster and better when we don’t have months to do something.
