[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are your kids not in AP classes OP? It’s pretty bad to be missing this much instructional time.  Some school districts open in end July or early August and will have 5-6 weeks more instructional time than MCPS gives yet every kid will take the same national exam in May. [/quote]

I understand that class time is ideal for AP instruction. But, it is not the only way to study for AP exams. There are a ton of online resources, including your student's AP Classroom on the College Board website. If AP classes are intended to be college equivalent classes, students need to  understand that not every single piece of information will be taught to them. They must also study independently.

I would much rather my kid get 5 days of instruction for AP Physics and AP calculus. My kid is not self-teaching those subjects.

My kid studied for the SAT over the summer so they wouldn’t have to scramble during the school year.  [/quote]

Okay, have them study previous material. Review what they have already covered. It is possible to study what has been taught already. [/quote]

And how will they finish the required curriculum having missed so many days?

I did a chapter of AP science as a winter break take home packet.

Kids used to study. [/quote]
