[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is in honors everything including Alg 2. She is also taking AP computer science. She came home after orientation stating she feels that honors history [b]is for the non-college kids[/b] and she should be in an AP class. I have heard from countless teens and parents that AP Gov is a nightmare class for freshman and my daughter has zero desire to learn anything about US Gov. She also plays a travel sport that consumes a lot of time. I really don't think she needs the AP, but she is telling me she will be behind her peers if she doesn't do it. I am not buying it. [/quote] This varies by HS, but at ours, like 90% or more go to college so that is clearly not true. However, it probably is true if you are thinking about the most competitive colleges. Among kids aiming for a top 20 college, the vast majority take APUSH and APNSL (in whatever order their school recommends).[/quote]
