[quote=Anonymous]I've been on calls with both my kids counselors this week at Wilson.

First, my sophomore's daughter adviser didn't even know about the decision that AP English and AP US History were required until another parent told her and then she went and found the email.   Once again, Wilson is doing a late in the game change without clearly communicating it to the parents let alone the staff who implements it.

Second, last year we were told that APs were not a good way to teach and Wilson was eliminating AP World History to solve systemic racism at Wilson.  Now, we are being told - APs for all.

Third, my daughter was already taking 4 other APs - she's now going to be loaded down with all hardcore classes.  It really bites for the STEM kids.

Four, I already heard from multiple teachers during parent-teacher conferences that this year's juniors were really struggling with APs due to the 4 x 4 schedule...so we are adding more?  English and Social Studies teachers both advised my daughter against taking them as she is taking so many other ones.

Fifth,  whoever said that Wilson was doing distance learning well must have a freshman.  My kid has reported that they are learning 1/3 to 1/4 of the content that they do in a normal year.  They also are worried that it will continue with the 4 x 4 schedule.

Sigh. [/quote]
