OP, you need to relax. You seem wound extremely tight. Why do you care? I grew up in a crappy school system where we barely had honors/AP, was a terrible high school student but excellent writer and test-taker, made it in to Big State U (miraculously, if you ask my parents) and graduated magna cum laude. I didn't feel unprepared. Maybe because I was "only" at Big State U and not an Ivy. But seriously. Your snowflake will be OK, honors/AP or the horror of "regular" curriculum. And if you live anywhere in MoCo or Northern VA, your regular kid already has a leg up on kids from where I come from. Funny, all the Ffx Co kids at my college were cheating off me in class.

1. You grew up in a different generation. It is so much more stratified these days. Normal courses used to be challenging — they're all a joke now.

2. Because over 40% of kids are failing out of university and I guarantee if you isolated kids who didn't take Honors-Advanced-AP courses it's more like 80%. That's a hell of a lot of money blown because gullible parents assumed their A-B-C idiot was ready for college. And obviously exploitative colleges admit everyone with a pulse who has access to grants and loans.[/quote]
