Congrats to you and your son!!!

Although I think the idea of your son having to inform his other AP teachers of his course load is beyond absurd...

The mind boggles. When I hear something this absurd, I usually figure that there's another agenda at work. Just my two cents.

It might just be local school policy - our school district policy requires the same thing. It's not a terribly big deal here - you just need to find a teacher who's willing to provide very minimal oversight, but it might be a little challenging the first year a student is enrolled at a school before they've had a chance to meet and get to know any of the teaching staff.
