Today I had a conversation with the parents of a former student. The student is taking an Advanced Placement (AP) course. The conversation began with them explaining that the student was finally caught up in her AP course but that they were unable to help her much with the materials. I tried to be understanding but said, "AP is a bitch!" They continued to explain some of the difficulties that she was having with the course and finally came to a particularly assignment that they considered very difficult.

The assignment requires the student to develop their own country, including things like government and culture...all I could say was, "Some of us do that for fun!"
