[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our Big 3 did not get rid of APs, as they had planned. I think having APs actually hurts the kids. For example, the science AP my DD took did not stick to the AP curriculum and went deeper and wider. They did not practice the actual AP questions (which is what is done in public schools starting very early in the school year). As a result, it is hard to do well on the AP tests. Then those AP scores get compared to AP scores of public school kids who started drilling for those AP tests early on. And the comparison is not in the Big 3 kids favor. Having APs only hurts the kids if teachers do not stick to the AP curriculum. [/quote] +1000. Several teachers at our Big 3 were openly contemptuous of the AP system and would refuse to align their courses with the curriculum (let alone use a couple of weeks to prep).[/quote]
