My kids say the state AP exams are a joke. Luckily, we still have honors classes.

State AP exams? Things may have changed, but AP was nationwide when I was a kid.

I think you are confused. The Advanced Placement exams are national, not state exams, administered by the College Board.

Really? Where is AP a joke vs. Honors? Our kids, all the ones I know from 1st grade up to now in 11th, are working MUCH HARDER in the AP classes vs. the Honors. Many of these kids are having to “work” the first time in their public education lives. I’d say here the AP classes are much more in-depth and they are making them study, again, many for the first time after breezing through all the honor and T&G type classes.
