Actually AP & IB are equivalent. IB (international baccalaureate) is a teaching theory that follows a European pattern. It is a great program. In Europe, classes aren't separated the way they are here. My daughter goes to an IB high school. For example, they combine history and English...

Great story. Way to go.

I was also amused by Are they dangerous or something? Anybody know why it says "banned" under OP's username?

That's so interesting about the differences in Canada. Here Honors and AP are both preparatory for college/university. One of the things I didn't realize is that my choices for my kids when entering middle school affect the high school class selections. For example, NC requires 4 years of...

Poor guy? Yeah, right. ;)

You're right One Day, it is presbyopia. I feel like a cartoon character when I have to hold the book with my arm stretched out a little. I didn't go to the doctor; I just bought the drugstore reading glasses.

Here we have regular English (for example), Honors English, and AP English. AP=Advanced Placement. If you take AP classes, you can take the AP test at the end of the year and get college credits. It varies how many each school offers (if any) and how soon you can take them. A lot of ours are...

Focus on the good traits that your child will get from you.

You so funny!

Good advice Ktee. My DD used to do this total spasm thing if you covered her face with a sheet. She'd kick and wave her arms and stop immediately when you moved the sheet. Her reaction was so extreme that at first we thought she was asphyxiating, but the fabric was too thin. I think that...

Okay, I have conceded defeat: I bought reading glasses. But I held out until 46. That's pretty good compared to most of my friends. A lot of them had glasses by 42. I've never had to wear glasses, and I think that makes it feel worse to me. Does that make any sense?

Just curious: do you buy white bread, wheat bread, or whole wheat bread? I admit I''m a stickler for whole wheat only.

First, sorry if this is TMI, but I was amused. Well, my son got ready for his first lacrosse practice of the season. He got out all of his protective gear: all of the pads and his cup. He got all dressed out for practice, but he kept fidgeting with his cup. Finally he said, "I can't get...

Just curious. If they do, when can you take them? We know somone whose school only allows them the senior year. Do you know how many AP classes are offered? My DD's high school offers APs and you can take them pretty much as soon as you are ready. She's in two now as a sophomore. The school...

You're so right Wolf. There is a lot to be learned from participating in team sports.

ME too. I missed my late night fix!

ONce a friend asked me if I was pregnant just because I was standing with my hand on my stomach! Rule #12: Never ask a woman if she is pregnant.

I think that your MIL has done a very kind thing befriending these people. I also think that your child has a very special place in her heart because it is yours. The more people you love, the more love you have to give.

Kissing at school here in elementary school got one of my daughter's friends suspended!

When my son was ringbearer in his uncle's wedding and DH was a groomsman, they had both just finished putting on their tuxedos. Son turns to hubby and says, "The difference between you and me is I make this look good!" Which is a quote from MIB, the movie. I think he was eight at the time.
