[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You really think a guidance counselor with hundreds of students is going to be able to properly guide students? They may give some helpful information or talk to a student if a student comes to them, but they aren't going out of their way to encourage kids to take classes well above their comfort zone. They may encourage kids take some AP classes, but I don't think they're the ones encouraging kids to take 5 plus AP's.[/quote]

Exactly.  We regularly get emails from school instructing parents to wisely counsel their kids about NOT taking too many APs.  There is constant information about how much work AP classes entail and to be sure students [i]aren't[/i] overloading on those classes.  No one has ever encouraged or insisted students take more than they can handle.[/quote]

There have been recent lawsuits.  Don't doubt it[/quote]

OMG.  Links, please?  [/quote]
