[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand all the pearl clutching for AP students missing a week of instructional time.  If anyone in our school system should be able to manage it should be them.  These are the kids that should be capable of independent study and research.  There might not be graded assignments being given but I am sure your students have some sort of syllabus or course outline that lets them know what is covered on the AP test.  They should be finding stuff to do[/quote]

If teenage students should be “finding stuff to do and teaching themselves material they don’t know” on snow days why can’t MCPS require paid teaching professionals to post assignments for them?  Why are students being held to a higher bar than paid staff?

I take it you've never taken an AP class of any complexity. No, AP Calc BC and Physics C are NOT self-teaching. Not by any stretch of the imagination. And my kids have high IQs and great work ethic.

I had to hire a tutor, but I hate that families who can't afford one have children that are going to be behind through no fault of their own.[/quote]
