<p>At my school, the worst AP teacher no longer teaches AP courses but still is the “AP Advisor” meaning that she oversees the general administration of AP courses.</p>
<p>my ap physics teacher sucks… he doesnt teach us at all, just jack squat. everybody gets an F or D that he just fixes everybody’s grades to an A, B, or C depending on how he likes you as a student</p>
<p>My friends in AP Chem always freak out about their teacher. They skip around in the book all year just learning the bare minimum to get a 3 on the AP exam. He gives them crazy worksheets and when they come in for help he doesn’t know how to do them. He actually tells them to skip class so he can leave too.</p>
<p>huh. I guess I never realized how lucky I was to have the teachers I do.</p>
<p>APUSH: average 4.7
Bio- average 4.2
Euro- average 4 (no one has ever failed in the ten years we have had the course)</p>
<p>I think socioeconomic background plays a huge part in passing rates.</p>
<p>^Do you come from a town near or surrounding a major university?</p>
<p>Reading this makes me glad I go to a more competitive high school lol. We have near 100% or 100% passing rates for all 20+ offered APs, with most average scores above 4.</p>
<p>To answer your question, no, it’s quite difficult if you go to a public school. It’s hard to get ANY teacher fired from a public school, unless there is a scandal involved or budget cuts.</p>
<p>@qwerty- Yeah, I guess. There are several major universities within an hours drive and 3 minor state schools within 15 minutes. My school sends 95% of its kids to college.</p>
