[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8th grader says AP World history is an option next year at W&L, or so they have been told.[/quote]

We told our 9th grade WL Student last year (as an 8th grader) not to take AP World History (only AP class offered).

DC is taking everything intensified as it is, let DC enjoy their Freshman year.

AP World History on top of 2 other intensified classes and marching band has not made our child's freshman year miserable.  Based on our two children's experiences so far, intensified history wasn't particularly work-heavy at all; and even with intensified English and intensified Biology, child #2 hasn't had much homework, except for AP World History - but even that isn't every night. Maybe the Eng/Bio workload will change 3rd quarter? It seems that the students are being given a lot of time in class to get work done.[/quote]

I said above that my DD regretted AP World History. I think what made it particularly challenging was that she ended up with it in her every-day class period. So she did have work every night and never felt like she had a break. Friends who had it in the every-other-day blocks seemed to have a much better experience. I don't know why they even schedule it in that 3rd period.[/quote]
