[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like a big mess and I’m guessing the private schools are regretting their stance on AP courses. Now we are all stuck with it.[/quote]

I really don’t think the privates that got rid of APs have any regrets.[/quote]
Sounds like a lot of the parents whose kids attend those privates do have regrets. This has been an interesting thread. I’d be very unhappy with the inconsistent messaging described at GDS if I had a kid there. [/quote]

GDS parent.  We are not happy with it but have been very happy with the school otherwise.  So we appreciate the top notch teachers and rigor and just ignore the messaging on AP exams.  Our DC says most kids they know also sign up for AP exams despite the discouragement, and the school still administers them.   [/quote]

Same. GDS parent here. We have loved the teaching for the most part (especially HS, MS was more variable). The collage office has been pretty good on most things and super bad on this AP issue. It’s left a bad taste in our mouth TBH. This senior class was not told clearly in sophomore year and September junior year what to do on APs. I’m glad some figured it out. Many kids did not and it limited college choices or chances to bypass 100 level college classes. Disappointing [/quote]
