Totally agree my friends @Happytimes2001 and @chemsider. It was especially disappointing that my kiddo had been recommended for this AP course by her current Honors teacher and counselor. I feel like the school needed to make room in the class for fac-kids - we actually knew that kids who had not been in the pre-req were placed because they were fac-kids. We had to fight this and kiddo ended up getting an A in the course. This just seemed totally bogus to us. This situation also seemed like cherry-picking kids who they thought were not going to put up a fight. I am telling you this because you should a) be aware that these are maneuvers schools can use and b) yep - very disappointed that our school tried to play this game with us while disregarding that their student had made Honor roll each term since first year Spring. Favoritism is shown toward legacy students and fac-kids.
