[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP classes are like a McDonalds happy meal. They even throw in a little toy, college credit. However, if you really care you can do much better for your kids.[/quote] I’ll give you the fact that AP classes have shortcomings, but let’s be honest here, it’s not like private classes are that much better. Lower division major classes are a commodity, Calculus 1 for example is pretty much the same at many universities, they’ll use the same textbooks. In what way is private school calculus better than the AP or community college version? It’s not, if anything the community college class is the most rigorous among them. There are other legitimate reasons to go to a private school, but rigor of classes over AP is not one of them. College credit and placement is definitely nice to have.[/quote]
