[quote=Anonymous]Very typical. We switched to private this year, and DS had taken 2 APs as a freshman and was scheduled for 4 as a sophomore. Was only allowed one at private this sophomore year. Next year, Jr year, we had to sign off to allow 4, which are 2 APs and 2 honors. Shockingly different, until you realize there is greater depth and breadth at the privates with their smaller class size (half of what DS faced in public). When applying to college, you're kids are competing against kids from your private, not kids at public. The college admissions officers know what the privates allow, amd know what rigor means at your private. In public, the kids are competing agaisnt many hundreds of other kids, and have to differentiate themselves, and therefore take many APs/honors (the only on grade level classes my older DS took in public were requirements like PE and art)[/quote]
