[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think she needs it, in that I don’t think it will impact college admission. She is probably right that most of the studious kids will take AP Gov, which means the classroom environment in the non-AP section is more likely to be disruptive. FWIW, AP Gov is not particularly challenging. I think the trouble comes in next year. APUSH is incredibly challenging and a lot of work. Some of this depends on the sequencing of history classes at your school. At some schools, all the 9th graders take Gov and the 10th graders take US History, so it’s easy to take AP Gov in 9th and drop down to Honors US in 10th. But in some schools, the sequence is either Honors US in 9th and Gov in 10th or AP Gov in 9th and APUSH in 10th. In that case, if your kid takes AP Gov in 9th and then doesn’t want APUSH in 10th, they’ll end up as a 10th grader in a class mostly full of 9th graders. So that can be rough. [/quote]
