[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. There is no teaching in any of her AP classes this year. [/quote]

So, what does the teacher do?[/quote]

DD says he talks about random things. Like about his kids and their HS experience, grand kids, how his weekend was, general life lessons, etc. The only relevant things he talks about are test taking strategies. There is no teaching of content. They are expected to read the book, take notes, and figure out what’s important, themselves. [/quote]

Does he also take forever to grade anything?[/quote]

MCQs seem to be graded promptly. The combined Units 1&2 summative was graded right away, as was the little quiz on Unit 3 (which DD got a 95 on, so of course it doesn’t count towards anything). Still have no idea about the Units 1&2 SAQ. [/quote]

Ok. We are definitely in the same class. The retake is in a week and we still don’t know these kids’ scores. MCQ was automatically graded on the College Board site. [/quote]

DD is not retaking, regardless of how terrible her SAQ score is. There is enough to do with learning new content. She said that in class, the kids with high MCQ scores were tasked with teaching the kids with low MCQ scores why their answers were wrong. It’s utterly ridiculous. [/quote]
