[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach AP Social Studies courses, including AP Govt. Several years ago, the Collegeboard put out a statement that they do not recommend that 9th grade students take AP courses. However, I hate to admit this, but when my kid goes to HS next year I will insist that he enroll in and many APs offered at each grade level, which including 9th. He is a smart but not overly diligent student and I think it’s good to be in the advanced courses whenever possible. Better cohort, better teachers, GPA boost, better curriculum, etc.[/quote] Not to mention that the AP exam is like a final exam. It's pathetic that MCPS got rid of them.[/quote] Having a big cumulative exam at the end is definitely one of the bonuses of AP classes for MCPS students. I’m not so worried about how my kid scores, just that they learn how how to study for and take a final. [/quote]
