Our high school-aged babysitter was over last night. She told us that our local public highs school, which is top 10% in California, now limits kids to 8 AP or honors classes for all of high school. Apparently the University of California schools only consider 8 to add extra points to their GPA.
She was shut out of 2 AP classes this year and was very upset.
My kids are only in elementary school. However, I'm curious if others have seen this and what your thoughts are. The school district did it to make high school less stressful for the kids.
