[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why you would want your kids in APUSH in 9th. AP NSL is easier, and you have to take it eventually anyway.[/quote]

That is why I said at Churchill HS.  No choice.  Their system is reverse from all the other schools in MCPS that I know of.[/quote]

That's so odd! So you don't even have the option of switching it?[/quote]

No.[/quote]

Is there an option of taking regular or honors US History in 9th grade then taking APUSH later?  It seems students would do better with a foundation course before taking the AP course.[/quote]
You could, but then that takes up an elective slot that might be used for something else.[/quote]''

This is a reasonable question, and this is how it is generally done in the sciences (except that there is a basic AP physics course equivalent to the Honors class).  But in social studies, I've never heard of this.  It's the same basic content, just deeper dive.  A person could take AP USH freshman year but then take AP World junior year.  In our experience, AP World is much, much easier than APUSH.  There are also other AP social studies to take later on if they take Honors USH.  [/quote]
