[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never took any AP classes, but that was when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Why do you assume that kids are only taking AP classes because parents are pushing and forcing them?[/quote] Because that's what I'm observing. Parents feel like their kids must do it. It seems ridiculous. I asked one parent where they hope the kid will go to college, and they said state school. My response was, "you know the kid could just enjoy HS, do a semester or two at MC, and then go on to state school, right?" If half the kids graduating from the magnet at Blair end up at UMCP, I just don't get why parents are making HS miserable for their kids. [/quote]
