[quote=Anonymous]I also grew up in VA, but not this area and we did not have any options for DE and limited options for AP. Basically, if you were a generic "honors kid" you took all available APs because there were so few. There really weren't choices for the path, beyond what elective you wanted to take. (We also only had 6 blocks so that was limiting too.) Fast forward and our oldest is going into junior year. I'm so confused about AP vs DE. Is AP considered more rigorous? It seems a lot of parents we know of older kids are pushing DE because "you get 6 credits instead of 3" but it also seems like the kids attending the most rigorous colleges still mostly do AP. We mostly allowed DD to choose her courses for next year, and she selected all APs and no DEs (where applicable) so I guess we will see how that goes but can someone give me a straight answer on this? What is the point of offering both types?[/quote]
