Thanks for your input, you make a good point! Although I do agree that AP classrooms can be boring, it depends entirely on the teacher and the student’s opinion of the material. Yes, the teachers are teaching to a test, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. In my AP European History class last year we had art days once every chapter, where we would critique and analyze the art of the period we were studying. We also had three day “salons”, where the class was split into three groups. The groups took turns pretending to be historical figures we were assigned while we discussed current and historical events, baking traditional European dishes, and having a “free” day. I ended up getting a 5 on the test. They also allow for college credit, which as mexusa said above, is huge.

Thanks for all the input everyone! Its great to know that so many people have an interest in topics like these.
