[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you take 5 or 7 AP's senior year.

In MCPS you literally need 1 class to graduate once you are a senior.[/quote]

The only way this is true is if your kid has no plans to go to college.

Signed, MCPS mom[/quote]

Not true. Some kids are mature and over HS and could care less about prom and varsity sport and just want to move onto college. You are saying that colleges are not interested in kids that finish HS in 3 years and go to college for a year locally.

How many kids is this, though? Many more kids take 1 class (and I'm still not positive that's even possible for many kids) because they don't plan to go to college, as opposed to the tiny fraction who take all college-level courses instead. Of the dozens of kids I know who went from MoCo public schools to highly selective colleges this fall, which includes magnet kids who are at very advanced levels, none of them did this. Many more public school kids do what my teenager did, going to school for 1/2 day and taking 4 APs, working in the afternoons/evenings, and getting into a highly selective college. Sure, a few took a handful of college classes, but none was entirely absent from the school for all of senior year. [/quote]
