[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The private school my older DD attended did not offer APs. The head of school thought they were all about rote learning and didn't teach kids to think critically. My older DD took three AP tests and got 5s and a 4, so got college credit without suffering through the awful AP classes.
My younger DD attends public school where she's taking 5 APs junior year. She took 2 APs sophomore year. Half the kids in the AP classes are not that smart, DD claims. 
I'm unimpressed with the AP curriculum. The classes have so much work, most of which seems to emphasize volume over quality. DD plows through all of it with no interest or enthusiasm. My older DD loved her private school classes, which were all about thinking and learning how to use and analyze information, not rote memorization and regurgitation, which seems to be the focus of most of younger DD's AP classes. 
Older DD went to [b]HYPSM, [/b]so did fine without taking a single AP class in high school.
