Post # 24. I disagree with opting out of AP lang/lit classes for a child who dislikes writing. I hate to write but can do well enough at it. Love reading. Placed into the UW (Madison) honors lit class (pre AP days) and was a chemistry major. A HS student who can handle AP/Honors English should do so. Taking the regular version will not be more pleasant perhaps. Learn as much as you can, when you can.
It is different if the student has difficulty mastering the subject material. Honing skills of reading and writing should be at the pace where the most is learned, not a like/dislike.
