[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid, a senior, is taking her first two AP classes... and both exams are scheduled for May 3rd....which apparently is an O day.

So, DD tells me that at least one is being moved to the AP make up day.  Probably both.  But that means there is no make up for a kid who is sick on the only day FCPS is offering the AP tests that should be offered on May 3.

This O day stuff should not be interfering with national exams.[/quote]

Oh FFS. Environmental Science and Psychology.  That’s a lot of kids.

This year, the AP only has one testing window.  They are case by casing kids who miss it and making them take an alternate test at an inflexible alternate date, as they have in the past.   Nobody wants to draw out APs.  Will the college board even let them?  And more to the point, maybe at some point just the kids who need religious accommodations should be inconvenienced.

Parents, please, please email the SB. This is not what the regulation said when it was approved. Look at January and April. Then add snow days and April being the AP testing lead up. Seriously?[/quote]
