[quote=Anonymous]For parents who are puzzled by the amount of homework their student's are receiving in AP classes they might want to take a look at how much content and skill development the College Board has required these classes to cover. I was a history major and am currently an AP European History teacher and the amount of content we are required to cover between August and May is absolutely insane, and way more than I ever had to know, even in the most rigorous upper division college class. Add the content to the skill development we are required to incorporate to get them prepped for the exam and it becomes very clear how it is impossible for us to cover everything in our daily class periods without regularly assigning homework. AP Euro students and their parents need to understand the workload they are undertaking is due to the expectations created by the College Board. Us teachers are constantly under pressure to move as rapidly as possible yet instruct with the depth these students need to be successful. If it's any consolation, we are super stressed and exhausted also. [/quote]
