[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rules are the rules. If your child does not want to take English 12, they can take the AP course or a dual enrollment course. As others have said, electives do not count.

Since your child has already taken two AP classes, it sounds like they would be well prepared to take the third and that would be the best option.

As a sidenote, it doesn’t seem fair that some schools offer two AP English classes and others offer three. My child only had the option of two AP English classes. English 10 was boring and so basic.[/quote]

Well prepared yes, but doesn’t desire to do so. And given the fact that the district has to pay for AP exams why would they want to force a kid into one when other options exist.

My point is that clearly the rules aren’t the rules or they aren’t clearly indicated as Dual Enrollment also counts for credit but that’s not mentioned anywhere on the page I linked to about English.

Why has MCPS decided only certain English classes count?
 
History graduation requirements specifies US, Gov, World.   Science graduation requirement specifies a Life, Physical, and Earth/Space that is NGSS aligned.  But English just says 4 credits with 1 credit being approved an English 10 course.
