I must say that this post made me snort out loud just before I started nodding vigorously in agreement. wink


On a more serious note, I'd like to add, here, that AP coursework these days is not always as "advanced" as one might hope-- but that the work product is extensive and that much of that work product is written work. A lot of written work. Volume is the issue here, not necessarily high quality.
