[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason why these schedules are so rough and the kids work so much is because they generally have classes every day. Think about it. In college, you have a class usually 3 times per week for 50 minutes or maybe only 2 times per week for an hour and 20 minutes. You don't take a bus to and from school in most colleges, you roll out of bed and walk. You just have more free time. The trouble with the AP world is that we are layering supposedly college level work on top of essentially a high school style schedule in 11th and 12th grade. For 9th and 10th, the trouble is often that many kids in APs aren't really ready for them. They need to learn how to handle a more rigorous high school class after middle school before jumping into college. [/quote] Bingo.[/quote]
