[quote=Anonymous]Is that right that there is no cohorting in sophomore year for English? I don't think I realized that. My impression is that there aren't a lot of requirements for sophomore year, other than take a bunch of APs, so I'm not sure why that would drive kids out (unless they just are feeling turned off by their AP Gov class). I have heard that they significantly changed the APEX Bio curriculum this year and made it much, much harder than Honors Bio (although on the transcript it is just reflected as Honors Bio). I don't know if some kids are maybe feeling a little burned by that. I'm a little curious what the average grades in that class are, and how it compares to the regular "honors" Bio. They expanded the APEX program a LOT a few years ago -- maybe now they are trying to shrink it through an old-school look-to-your-left-look-to-your-right approach. [/quote]
