^ My gc encourages people to take too many AP classes. She stuck 30 juniors this year in 2-3 AP classes each who had never even taken honors before… They keep sticking people who shouldn’t be in AP classes into them so the school will get more money. Also, it’s practically impossible to get out of them. My friend was in 4 AP classes and she was taking AP Physics without any Physics background. She tried to get out because she couldn’t keep up, and my gc just told her “Come on, a lower grade in AP Physics would look better on a college app than an A in regular Physics.” My friend had to get her parents to complain to the principal before they’d let her out.
