[quote=Anonymous]    OP -- Depends on school, but my advice is that if you DD wants to more honors or an AP class, by all means encourage her to try.   In many MCPS high schools, honors courses have become the new regular, pre-college classes, with  -- as a prior poster said -- most students taking some APs during high school and those seeking admission to very selective schools taking quite a few APs.   We were reluctant to let our kids take AP courses on the theory that they should enjoy high school before trying to do college work, but the world has changed a great deal.  We yielded, and our child rose to the occasion and did extremely well. I am moved by the fact that you said most of her friends are taken more honors or AP classes.  Unless your daughter has a real deficit in a subject or a learning disability, let her try to take the classes with her friends.  This will very much impact college choices, and you don't want to be the one to hold her back there unless you have a very good reason to do so for her own good.   Good luck.[/quote]
