[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New pp here. Thank you for all your input here and our first DC got in.

Can first PP or others expand on this : "They will take AP level classes, like CS and World History, and not get AP credit. Make peace with that now. " '

Does that mean, they don't get AP Credit at all for many classes?

Please keep your views coming and your opinions are extremely helpful for parents like me and OP.[/quote]

NP here.  I have a currrent TJ Junior.  What this means is that some classes teach material at an AP level, but are not technically AP courses and, therefore, only get a 0.5 GPA bump, rather than a 1.0 GPA bump. The two classes I can think of are the same as the PP mentioned:  Foundations of Computer Science and World History II.  My son is currently taking AP Comp. Sci after a year of Foundations.  He tells me that most of what is on the AP test they learned in Foundations.  With Workd History II, he took the AP test last spring a got a 5. The teacher he had was good, but didn't specifically teach to the AP curriculum. My son gets plenty of sleep, but he's not much of a joiner, so he doesn't have the same time pressures as many of his classmates.[/quote]
