[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which school? The AP world teacher at Wakefield has a bit of a reputation. Some love him, some don’t… but everyone I’ve talked to says he assigns hours of homework a night and it’s a tough class. I’ve heard AP human geo is much more reasonable. Don’t know about the other class. For what it’s worth, we went with all intensified but no AP freshman year… kid will take some AP classes in 10th. [/quote] My WHS students opted out of AP classes freshman year. They didn't feel ready, and we didn't push. If they'd been eager to take the class and could explain why they felt ready and interested, we would've supported that. Agreed with the notes above on the AP World teacher, and will add I've heard he gets results and does an excellent job preparing kids for the AP test. Kids went on to take 10-12 AP classes, which felt like plenty. [/quote]
