[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible to do fundamentals of computer science in summer school (rising 8th or 9th grade?) to free up time for another elective?[/quote] Yes but the benefit of taking it in middle school is that you won't have the unweighted grade in your GPA. Computer science principles is very easy as an AP course though. Definitely no reason to take both.[/quote] It’s not THAT easy. If you look at the AP score distribution for AP CS principles, only about 12 pct of kids get a 5 on the independently graded exam. Unless you want to argue that most of the kids in MCPS are getting 5s, this isn’t going to be a cakewalk for most kid. [/quote] It’s a lot of homework too. [/quote] Neither of my kids had a lot of homework.[/quote] Its probably teacher specific, mine has homework 3-5 day a week.[/quote]
