[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are sort of concerned too. The amount of reading assigned to be due at the next class for history during last week was crazy. It was nearly 40 pages and they had to take notes and were given 2 nights to do it. Other times not much is assigned. They don’t seem to discuss any of the material. I heard the unit test on 1&2 is soon? I’m trying to trust the process but am worried. [/quote]

Forty pages in 2 nights is not unreasonable. This is an AP class, so a college level class. A child in this class should be able to read and take notes on 40 pages in 2 nights. If you are worried about it and your child seems overwhelmed then maybe they should be in the honors class and not the AP class. There is nothing wrong with that, it moves at a different pace and there is no college credit available. [/quote]

No need to be rude. I was comparing it to the separate AP class and English HN class. The separate AP World classes are absolutely not being assigned 40 pages to do in two nights. I also checked in with someone over at Oakton - AP World over there is doing even less - 1 section only of reading each time and then a quiz. Not sure if this is because it’s the combo class or what. I’m just trying to figure out expectations. I am a little worried but my child is happy. [/quote]
