In our area regular vs AP has a great effect on how the parents view their child. Sadly I see parents unhappy with their child’s performance (parents insisted on mostly honors/AP classes) and don’t think their child is college material once the gpa takes a hit.

Even a schedule of all regular classes will get these kids into college -especially out-of-state, a good state flagship. It won’t get them into our state’s most elite u’s. But parents don’t explore oos, they feel their kid in an underachiever and may not deserve college. A shame.
