“my daughter ended up with some conflict with an AP English teacher who was so obsessed with trying to get the kids to score well that she tried to require kids to come in outside of school hours for extra exam prep.”

This is a regular thing at my D’s school. I don’t know of a single AP class that does not involve extra exam prep, often at the teacher’s home, occasionally on the weekend, on campus. If often starts mid-year, and follows with mock AP trial-run tests periodically. By late April they’re into the off-campus prep, major.
