[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While students are technically not required to take social studies in 10th grade, almost everyone takes one of three AP offerings because they don’t want to look bad when being compared against their peers for college admission. It is technically an elective, but practically speaking, it’s not elective.[/quote] At W-L it seems the higher achieving kids generally take AP Government in 10th since that is required of the kids who are in the IB program (government is a state requirement and there is no room for it in the IB 11th-12th program). My kids didn't do full IB but still wanted to take AP Gov in 10th since that's what their friends were doing. [/quote]
