<p>I guess the problems is in the schools my kids have attended is ds is one of the only ones on the same stem path. He is one of 3 in calc bc this year, and he took honors physics in 11th along with ap chem, then this year the only choice was ap physics b, which he enjoys, but says is super easy. It wasn’t until he started that he realized if he and the other 2 kids in ap calc bc had gotten together they would have made a physics c class. None of us understood that there were different physics ap’s. At least he learned what he likes and doesn’t like. He didn’t like biology, even at the regular high school level and wouldn’t take ap because he heard it was mostly memorizing. He realized while taking ap chem he didn’t like chemistry. However he always loved physics.</p>
<p>Our schedule rotates so there is no leaving early to take community college classes. However our cc is not so hot and chances are he has more motivated kids with him now than at the cc. </p>
<p>He’s hoping for a 5 on the ap bc exam so he doesn’t have to take another year of basic calc. The physics will probably help him for about 5 minutes in the physics for engineers.</p>
