[quote=Anonymous]About your second point: at Madison HS, tests, papers, projects, and cumulative tests are ongoing, likely through until the end of school. There's a big push to keep kids in school and learning up until the last day. AP teachers are sometimes behind on the curriculum and are trying to cram it in, even if that means leaving something for after the AP exam.

It's not ideal, seeing as many seniors are taking these AP classes; after the exams, many of these seniors are doing 2-week projects (like mini internships) off campus. But the underclassmen in the AP classes still have to keep going with projects, essays, etc. My daughter who is a junior has important assessments in all her classes, even those that had an AP exam. Many are summative grades, so they still have to be putting in max effort.
Although I agree that kids should be learning right up until the end of school, I wish in that case that the AP exams could line up closer to June instead of May. And wouldn't it be lovely if they had a suspended 2-3 days of "no work, just study" in those AP classes leading up to the exam?

Since you wrote that you are trying to figure out best or at least better practices, that's my two cents! [/quote]
