[quote=Anonymous]AP isn't just a test, it is a required curriculum. When I'm paying $36k/year I want my child's high school to put together the strongest possible courses, rather than use an off-the-shelf syllabus from the College Board and teach to the test. There is no lack of transparency - parents at private school have know exactly what is being taught in our high schoolers' classes. I have yet to meet any parent of a selective DC area private school alum who says their child was unprepared for college at the Ivies/MIT/Stanford. The typical feedback is that college is a lot easier than high school. Nor have I met one who wanted their child to amass enough credits to graduate college in 3 years. I want my DC to take the time to enjoy the experience. I would only encourage lots of AP tests if DC really wants to go to a large public university in order to avoid the massive intro lecture courses. [/quote]
