Dear Colleagues, Perhaps you can enlighten me regarding my question about AP Chemistry. I was of the impression that AP chemistry is generally taught after the students have taken a year of chemistry. Is this true? I know at least one school system where AP Chemistry is taught in lieu of an Honors Chemistry and students have been struggling. As a result, not many are signing up for that course and dropping down to the next level, where they (otherwise honors students) are not being challenged. I would appreciate receiving some feedback from my HS chemistry colleagues. Thanks.
