[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fun fact -- HB has eight class periods to allow students who need to leave early to go to sports at their home schools to do so. There is a lot of pressure on top-performing students to squeeze in an eighth class to load up on APs junior and senior year. Cry harder, OP. [/quote] Okay? So WL has 21 AP courses and probably 35 IB courses. HB has 14 AP courses, 3 of them different languages. Taking the most rigorous path at HB is like phoning it in at WL. [/quote] That's just downright silly. Are there kids at WL who either take or are expected to take all 21 AP classes in order to be viewed as "most rigorous?" If not, we're just talking about how many classes the kids can choose from. There are only so many periods in the day, and that number is not changed by the number of different AP choices there are. [/quote] +1 Offering 21 AP classes does not mean a student is expected to take all of them. Even if a student took 7 APs both junior and senior year, that would mean 7 more split between 9th and 10th grade which doesn't happen. [/quote]
