[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, the picture presented is that your kid cheated their way through the online class. Did enough looking up answers/generating text at key moments to get an A in the class, but as a result, didn’t learn the content fully enough to get a 5 on the exam.

Or that they’re not good at independent study. Fine when a teacher is spoon-feeding them the content, but not able to dive deep and make connections on their own. [/quote]

This is a ridiculous comment. Truly. Disregard OP.[/quote]

Not ridiculous to bring up cheating. Especially with an A in the class and a 3 on the exam.

The Langley HS student newspaper had an article last year about prevalent cheating in online APs.  The students apparently know it’s happening. [/quote]

Your privilege is showing. There are many schools that well funded where the kids aren’t prepared for the exams despite doing well in the class. The teaching simply isn’t up to par.  If you think outside of your bubble, your mind wouldn’t jump straight to cheating.[/quote]

At our school they don’t use textbooks and the curriculum is not the same.  We tried to tell our kid to study independently but the teacher said he covered everything.  Kid bombed the tests but knows the material.  Teachers were terrible.  We had to get tutors.  [/quote]
