My senior just graduated, OP, with a dozen AP classes, like many students.

AP is the new Honors.
Honors is the new Regular.
Regular is the new Remedial.

This has been going on for years. 
If you don't know this, you haven't been paying attention.

If you care at all about college admissions, you have to play that game. There are plenty of 4.2 wgpa, multiple-AP students who are rejected from UMD.

And then everyone is like "Why are our kids doing drugs and so depressed?" Duh. [/quote]

Again, mixing everything up.

[b]The kids who are serious and doing multiple APs are not the same ones vaping in the bathroom, partying and doing harder drugs. They're at home, studying. They do risk burnout and they're ALL stressed. [/b]

The druggies are not on the 12-AP track. This is my neighbor kid, buying drugs, out at all hours, whooping it up. He's a smart kid too. He's going to community college, but he might be perfectly well-adjusted in a decade, who knows.

Statistically, the former tend to reach higher income brackets than the latter. Drugs are now laced with Fentanyl and you play Russian roulette every time. But hey, at least the druggies are not stressed right now!

LOL. Welcome to Churchill.
You don't live in the county, do you?[/quote]

Yeah, stop lying. My teen is at Walter Johnson, and has friends at Churchill, Whitman and BCC. We've been around for a while in this part of the county. I'd say that 99% of high achievers in these schools are not wasting their time doing drugs.

But you go on spreading nonsense on DCUM :-)[/quote]
You definitely don't have kids in the county.
It's not a secret there are lot of drugs at Churchill. Ambulance used to be called almost every week for kids passing out from drugs.[/quote]
