[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why you would want your kids in APUSH in 9th. AP NSL is easier, and you have to take it eventually anyway.[/quote]

That is why I said at Churchill HS.  No choice.  Their system is reverse from all the other schools in MCPS that I know of.[/quote]
Not true. My kid is in 9th grade at Churchill. At the beginning of school year, the counselors told the freshmen parents that they did not recommend freshmen to take APUSH or other APs. There is honor US history and some students switched to that. My kid stayed at APUSH because his friends are staying. It is the most time consuming class so far, and grading is tough too.[/quote]

OP is saying there is no choice in the order of social studies taken.  US history is 9th grade; NSL is 10th grade.  I'd imagine a very persistent parent could do something else but parents don't feel like they're given a choice and doing so would move the kid into classes with a different cohort, which isn't really desirable.

You can definitely choose between AP and honors-- that's what the thread is about![/quote]
Blair magnet has the same order but no APUSH only honors us history in 9th grade, then AP NSL in 10th, and AP World in 11th.

The order might be the MCPS thing, not just Churchill.[/quote]

It’s not an MCPS thing, because Einstein does AP Gov in 9th and APUSH in 10th. Although I think it’s a fairly recent change, because my 10th grade DD said she had 11th/12th grade friends who were surprised she was taking AP Gov as a freshman. [/quote]
