[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even though our school starts before Labor Day, I wish it wouldn't. I think it's a joke to come to school for 3 days, then take a 3 day weekend. Just finish the summer. Now, if you want to propose shifting the AP exams two weeks later, I'd be all over that![/quote] Unfortunately, the AP College Board will not support the change, and other students are well-prepared by then since they don't have all those excessive missed days. [/quote] Every school in the country would love to have more time for AP prep. I'm on the teacher listservs for 8 of the courses... Snow days place some kids at a real disadvantage for covering the entire body of material. But, I think the 9 month school year is long enough. It is those last few weeks during high school that get wasted. Lots of public school AP courses watch movies every day after the exams. [/quote]
