<p>In his school kids can pretty much take anything as long as they can pass qualifying exams.</p>
<p>i say tell him to take the ap bio exam as an independent or even take the class online. <a href="http://www.flvs.net%5B/url%5D">http://www.flvs.net</a></p>
<p>carbfreenoodles: haha..im actually taking a class online on FLVS. honestly, its pretty good to take a class online, because you work on your own pace (you can even work faster than your pace says to) and tests/assignments are a lot easier than they are in the classroom.</p>
<p>Does your son have an interest in science? </p>
<p>If not, then he should follow his passions. </p>
<p>If yes, he should do something outside of school. He can volunteer at a lab or something. Look at me. I love science, but I am on the regular track for it(even though I qualified for the honors track. got some messed up people in my h.s.). I wasn't bothered by it because I decided I to pursuit it outside of school. Now, this summer I am volunteering at the lab of a prof at local LAC doing research. See how things work out. I'm sure they will work out for your son, too.</p>
