[quote=Anonymous]AP classes aren't for everyone and are there to provide advanced students the highest level of academic rigor available to them through the school system in that particular subject.

Maybe the teacher has a hard on for torturing their students for no reason whatsoever, OR maybe the teacher is coming in hard to weed out lazy kids who don't want to work or who aren't cut out for AP, or maybe your kid isn't taking advantage of in-class time to complete assignments, or maybe the class is just too advanced for your kid.

I've got a senior who is taking 5 AP and 2 DE classes this year and has yet to break a sweat and took 5 APs last year and barely did any homework at home other than some essay writing/editing for AP Lang and got 5's across the board on the exams.

My kid #2 took 2 APs last year and was up late every night reading, writing and studying to get 4s at the end of the year.

If you want your kid to have an insight into the workload of a college course and the work ethic needed to succeed, APs are the best insight public schools have to offer to prepare your kid for that experience. If it's too much for your kid, no harm, no foul but some kids need it and actually want it.[/quote]
