[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The quality of electives are largely teacher-dependent as there is no standard curriculum per se, so your DC should ask their senior fellow students for first-hand experience. A lot of courses can sound good in names, but suck in content. AP electives are more predictable. [/quote] Yeah, with APs (although the teacher can make or break it) we can see the curriculum and there are plenty of websites that talk about them. But sticking to APs narrows down choice. Taking other classes that speak more to a student's interest can help them feel engaged, and provide material for college essays. It's just hard to know what the kid's getting into. So maybe this question is more Blair based. I'll encourage my 9th grade kid to pick the brains of some older kids in his classes.[/quote]
