[quote=Anonymous]"There is an honors humanities course that I'm told is the toughest HS class." My child is taking honors humanities this year and loves it. I don't think DC considers it the toughest class though. DC also really enjoyed the History of Jerusalem course that Latin offers. While there is value in APs, they do box a school into teaching a set curriculum. That may or may not be what the school wants to teach. The ability to think critically about the world instead of memorizing facts for an AP test is far more valuable IMHO. My understanding is that in terms of college admissions, a child is not penalized for not being able to take an AP course just because his/her school doesn't offer it. Thankfully, there are many school options in DC, big/small schools that work for different types of kids. [/quote]
