[quote=Anonymous]AP English Lang/Lit teacher here.

On days a student has an AP exam, they are expected to come and stay only for the exam at my school. However, I am available in my classroom each day and students may choose to come see me when they are not taking exams for one-on-one help or encouragement.  Over the past two weeks, I've had a handful of kids come by every school day (around their AP exams) to practice another timed exam-type essay and then talk through the paper and how it would be scored on the AP Lang or Lit FRQ rubric with me.

I support this policy: my students have worked hard all year, and the current protocol is similar to what they will find in college.  Finals for non-AP classes happen after AP exams end, and just as they will do in college, students should be revising on their own at home or meeting with teachers these weeks.

I work at an American international school overseas (I mention this because I know from past experience that if I don't clarify I am in a non-US timezone, someone will appear to comment on the fact that I am seemingly posting during the school day).  We have a consistent track record of markedly high AP scores, so whatever we are doing is working for the kids.[/quote]
