[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize that any AP class content is on college board website and available on Khan Academy should your child need to, or want to, be sure they have covered everything for AP tests. The moco HS course will continue on with the pace of the teacher. Their course grade and AP test score of two separate things so you can make sure they are prepared by working ahead should you feel it necessary. It will all be okay.[/quote]

If it's your position that AP kids should be fully capable of teaching with Khan Academy and College Board material themselves, then why do we have the AP classes at all? What is the point of having teachers or sending them to school if you believe the kids should teach themselves?[/quote]

What a stupid comment.  Kids are not supposed to be teaching themselves their coursework.  That’s why we have schools.

You may want to hold MCPS to a low standard, but many others disagree.  If you want to close schools every time there is ice on the ground, McPS should open two weeks earlier in August.  McPS can build in 8 snow days into its calendar instead of the single snow day it has now [/quote]

God, your kid must really be stupid for you to be this persistent. ALL GOOD AP students supplement on their own, in every city, district, etc. all over the country. They are students who study without being told by a teacher via emails during snowstorms. [/quote]

Not only is my kid smarter than you, my pet gerbil is smarter than you. Requiring kids to teach themselves is not "supplementing."  Students, AP or otherwise, should not be told to "google a curriculum and teach themselves" because MCPS can't figure out how open schools the way its neighboring districts can.
