[quote=Anonymous]You seem to be assuming that APs are inherently bad. I don't necessarily think that they are. I have a kid in MCPS and one in private and while some of the AP classes are hard work, they aren't that different from the non AP equivalent at private school (which aren't always called APs but most of the kids take the AP test at the end so what's the difference). There is a bit of an element of test prep for a couple of weeks before the AP tests, but otherwise my kid has found the AP classes to be challenging classes with good teachers and engaged students. Pushing kids into APs for the sake of rankings is obviously not useful but so far mine has gotten 5s on the tests, and most of the kids at our school get 3s, 4s and 5s. [/quote]
