<p>One earlier post mentioned that their school limited freshmen & sophomores to 0 APs and juniors & seniors to 3.</p>
<p>I hate to see arbitrary limits placed on students. Instead, set up a standard course sequence and define pre-reqs for the advanced courses and let the kids who can get the pre-reqs take the courses earlier.</p>
<p>My daughter is a freshman this year taking 3 APs (French, Calc BC & Chem). Really, the work load hasn’t been that bad – she probably averages around 1 hour of homework a night. I think she’d be incredibly frustrated in any lower course in those topics.</p>
