[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s disappointing when you see that at MCPS any kid can pretty much take any AP they want at any time, starting 9th grade. I’m not saying that’s the correct way to go about it, I think some gatekeeping of who can take AP and at what year is appropriate, but being stuck in the regular tract with little hope of being able to take APs if you’re interested isn’t the right way. [/quote] As the OP's post shows, the gatekeeping can be excessive. I would question people's logic in paying tens of thousands of dollars per year to have their kids' access to challenging coursework restricted. Yes, that will hurt them when it comes time for admissions. But I suppose many private schools also try to restrict where kids apply, so if you put your kids in a school like this, you know what you're signing up for.[/quote]
