The main problem is that the exams would be right in the middle of the trimester, where’s with a semester schedule you have 2 months between midterms and APs, we would only have 4 weeks of classes after our trimester 2 assessments, and one week would have to be just reviewing. Then we’d have the same situation between APs and finals. So essentially we’d only have normal classes for a few weeks of the trimester.
If we don’t have APs, we’ll just have honors classes, and kids will have the option to take the AP exams on our own if we want to.
