[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a private school family. Our high school junior had to be approved to take most of his AP courses. They are not open to anyone who wants to take them. This ensures smaller class sizes and prevents the dumbing down of the course. All are required to take the AP exam.[/quote] The other side of this... My DH and I were both late bloomers, academically and otherwise. I had to beg my AP teachers to let me take the class. They relented it. They didn't have to dumb down anything, and I got straight As and passed the AP exams. I eventually graduated HS with honors, taking mostly honors and AP classes in 11th and 12th grade. Looking at my 9th grade classes and grades, you wouldn't have thought I'd be able to pull that off.[/quote]
