[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Blair, APUSH is for the first time offered to 9th grader, who had to chose between Honor US history or APUSH. As what I can tell, quite a lot of SMACS kids chose APUSH together with Functions. They are going to be really tortured this upcoming year. [/quote]

Love the way that overbearing 9th grade  Blair parents already know the schedules of an entire cohort of 100 kids and school hasn’t even started yet.

My history loving, avid reader, going to Blair listened to the teachers/staff and did NOT sign up for APUSH, or frankly functions because 9th grade isn’t a race or a competition. They very strongly recommended against taking APUSH. If you’re right I predict a large number of them dropping down in the coming weeks/months as happens every year. Why do this to yourself??? All for one extra semester of electives which you can also gain by taking a class over the summer. Oh, I guess it’s actually for bragging rights? Well the bragging subsides when you’re one of the 40 percent that can’t hack it and moves down to precalculus.[/quote]

+1 The repeated high anxiety, micromanaging posts from parents on this board are scary. I don't think everyone takes Functionsfor bragging rights. The Functions kids DC knows actually like math and are great at it but DC does not know that many kids in the program yet so they could be exception. DC is happy with not taking Functions.[/quote]
