[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My only gripe with AP classes is the fact that the entire year of work really doesn’t matter if you do poorly on the test.  There are a multitude of reasons why a kid might do poorly on the test, many of which are out of their control.

I prefer my daughter taking dual enrollment classes when she reaches 11th grade and can drive to MC.  I know this sounds bad, but For now as a sophomore, she takes AP mainly to filter her classmates.[/quote]

This is us too. DD takes honors/AP to stay in a stream with the like-minded kids (not the "rough" ones). She's only picking ones where she truly likes the content. Many on here who have been through it say that the grade matters more than the content any way.

She is focused on her grades and a happy high school experience. We are absolutely not counting on an AP of 4 or 5 or a DE credit ato replace college credits when she gets to college. She'll still have to traverse the college system from the Freshman path up (and we fully expect to pay for it all!) just as intended. [/quote]
