[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At W&L they call it a Flex period and a lot of seniors do it, including my own. My kid is taking 5 AP/IB, one regular elective, and a Flex. When they sign up the parents have to sign a form approving it. You can request an am Flex or a pm Flex. In our case, my son did a PM flex because I wanted him using that time to study for his other classes, not just sleep in every other day. Also, my son plays a sport so it gives him time every other day to work on homework instead of going directly to practice/game. I'm sure if you're aiming for Ivies or other top schools, it's not advised, but my kid is not.[/quote] Doesn't seem to be a thing at WHS. Neither of my kids or their counselors have ever mentioned or suggested it, even senior year when one was struggling to fill-up their schedule.[/quote] WHS has AP Consult. It’s pass-fail, so it isn’t a completely free period. It is as an AP study hall. [/quote]
