[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a vent....[b]my junior is taking 6 AP exams and so therefore, is missing 6 days of school[/b] and yet finals, quizzes and tests seem to be happening in a bunch of classes RIGHT now and so there is also a huge scramble to try to take extra exams after school in addition to studying for all tests.

Why do all of these exams need to be right now when school ends June 17? I get that some kids are seniors and need to do them earlier but this is putting so much undue stress on the juniors and it is unnecessary.

For a school system that pretends to care so much about mental health, this is NOT a way to show that you care.[/quote]

Troll. AP exams don't take an entire day. Mine took AP Lit in the morning, then went to her two afternoon classes.[/quote]

This is a good point. Many (all?) FCPS schools allow students to be signed out the whole day of an AP/IB exam (under the premise of "sleep" and "studying"), but it's 100% optional and students are welcome to go to their opposite half of the day classes. Much of the country does--we've lived all over and fairfax is the first district where this is the norm.[/quote]
