[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is a ninth grader in APEX. He likes it and is learning a lot but he reports that others have dropped it because they are failing APEX biology. He just told me the people teaching it plow through the material, there are no quizzes to chunk learning before big tests, and the teachers are unsympathetic to the kids who struggle. This is concerning. He says the English and AP Government classes are fine. He's doing ok in biology for now, but he says it's much more difficult than the other classes by far. [/quote] My kid is at RM, but I heard that AP Bio itself is just a hard class, period.[/quote] APEX Bio is basically the cohorted Honors Bio 9th graders take. AP Bio is a two period class typically taken by 11th or 12th graders aiming for highly selective colleges studying Stem. We’re talking about 9th grade Bio here for the Apex program cohort. [/quote]
