The teachers are nicer because they don't have to fight to get students to be a part of the class. During freshman and sophomore year when there weren't as many AP classes available, I hated all my College Prep classes because almost all the other students around me (besides the other "AP students" like myself who were stuck there too) were so unmotivated. This year and last year, I've been taking what they call a "full load" of AP classes, but honestly I'm so much happier when I'm in these AP classes with students who actually care. So, in the spirit of Brenna's comment above, some teenagers actually are motivated-- I just wish that environment could be extended beyond AP classrooms into the rest of the school as a whole.Lisa.KMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623678395117173077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633443941092309803.post-58308889739894225732013-10-04T17:30:09.880-07:002013-10-04T17:30:09.880-07:00I think it's important for others to understan...I think it's important for others to understand that teenagers can actually be smart (shocker). But seriously, youths are commonly generalized into a category that makes it hard for us to be heard/accepted/etc. (all those clichés).Brenna McNamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03491085823932626639noreply@blogger.com
