[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re aiming for a T20 and your guidance counselor knows you’re chickening out and taking the easier route intellectually, this may affect the letter they write for you.

But since FCPS has deemed their online AP classes identical to the inperson classes, school staff members are not allowed to do this.

I would have a frank conversation with the school guidance counselor and make sure they know that you expect that they will not ding your child for this choice.   Include the principal if needed.  [/quote]

This is simply false.  FCPS now has a policy where schools are required to break out the online campus classes from the in-person classes.

From following the discussions here on DCUrban mom, FCPS leadership is well aware that the online AP classes are being used to gamify GPAs.  They are easier, encourage cheating and hand out As.   This is why the SB changed the policy a few months ago.

School counselors are entirely within their professional duty and judgement to highlight if a student took a class online.  [/quote]
