[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a mom who DID encourage AP classes, not solely because of the GPA boost, but because I hoped that when my kids hit Calculus and Chem in college, they wouldn't be the only kids in the room seeing the material for the first time. I felt that, even watered down, a bit of exposure in public high school would help later when I was paying college tuition. For math and science, I still wanted them to start at level 1 in college, not skip to Cal 3 or whatever. I didn't feel the same way about USH or Lit, but for maths and science, I really encouraged them to enroll[/quote]

I''m the mom being attacked above by the PP who thinks taking 10 APs is sad, and I definitely agree on the math and science courses.  My DD took AP chem, physics, and calculus, and has done well in those courses in college. She didn't take AP bio, and regrets it as that's what she'll major in. That has been the only college class where she felt like she started at a real disadvantage compared to her classmates.
