[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids who graduated from Langley. They both got top grades, top test scores, and are attending great colleges. Despite their great high school experience, their university experience is still very different. Being surrounded by some of the smartest kids in the country/world, listening to and discussing topics with amazing professors, and having REAL discussions about meaty subjects is NOT what’s happening at even the best high schools. AP classes offer difficult, supposedly college-level material, but it’s stuffed into kids like a Thanksgiving turkey. There is no discussion. In fact, most kids say nothing because they fear they’ll say something politically incorrect. All that said, only you and your kid knows what’s right for them, but let’s not pretend that a rigorous HS is equivalent to a non-professional degree at a highly-regarded SLAC. [/quote]
