[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One benefit of APs is that there is a ton of outside resources like books and online materials.  [b]My kid is taking two APs with very nice teachers but neither one is doing a great job at conveying the information.[/b]  My kid just watches the online instruction and has A’s in both classes.  If she relied on what is taught in class, would definitely be a C.

Fwiw, I feel bad for both teachers.  One came from industry and I think just doesn’t know this area very well but they don’t have anyone else that knows the material.  The other seems to me to be depressed or something, just based on their demeanor—my kid likes them but says the class moves very slowly and sometimes the teacher just doesn’t cover any material.[/quote]

Because they are grade teachers with bachelors from Towson teaching college level courses that most of them never had to take, let alone learn how to teach it.  They aren't professors and the students aren't 19-22yrs old.

AP's are such a scam for 80% of the kids that take it.[/quote]

Obviously you just needed to read the PPs whole message where it was clearly indicated the opinion on why the teachers weren’t great. But yet felt the need to denigrate a school and teachers with a degree.🙄[/quote]
