It took me a minute to realize that APUSH stood for AP US History, and wasn't just a derogatory term for AP classes in general.
LOL. It's way to easy to get in the habit of using these kinds of acronyms.
Despite all our complaints. There are good things about AP Classes. It's just the way SOME teachers/school implement the classes. There are good teachers, my son has H. Biology from the main AP Biology teacher at our school. He doesn't believe in excess homework and he is one of the schools best teachers. And the kids get top grades on the AP.
When I was in H.S. (eons ago now) there were teachers at my school who said that your grade could be improved by the AP exam. A 4 on the test guaranteed a minimum of a B in the class, and a 5 a A. One of my friends improved her grades significantly that way. Alas no more, I know kids who got B's all through H.S. but 5's on every AP taken.
