wow i have some lazy classmates in my AP euro class. so we have a test every two weeks and its relativly easy every time (no i'm not just saying that like seirously they aren't too bad) his whole plan is to start easy and then get harder as the year goes by to you know build you up for game day. so theres an essay portion to the test and he tells us what the essay questions are ahead of time so we can prepare for them. He usualy hands out 3 and then for the test we only do 2 of them, his choice. Well we get to the test today and he tells us every class he had today moaned and bickered and said the questions were too hard (yeah they were hard but i mean we got them in advance) and asked if they could use notes. pretty much every student in his first two classes said they had no idea what to write about. he says he'll allow it but gives everyone an extra homework assingment for the weekend. i'm like come on this is an AP class it isn't supposed to be easy. if it was easy we wouln't even call it AP euro we'd call it your mom. (oh nice! lol) i thought it was pretty stupid because i mean using your notes wouldn't change much. i mean if you had the right answers in your notes then it meant you could have better prepared for it. i dunno i m just like wow you guys, lets try to grow up a little
Lazy students

That's pretty sad. They shouldn't take the class if they're not up for the workload. (That's why I had to get out of AP psychology this year, lol--I knew I wouldn't be able to give studying for it the time it deserved, so I opted out of that extra studious burden.)

yea AP classes are suppose to be hard and i think you're right about how people should step up and start studying instead of complaining about how unprepared they are. I'm in AP Biology and our teacher practiclly gives us the test and the people don't even bother to look over what he says will be on there. Then they want to complain and blaim their failing on how the class is sooo hard.Whatever, if they would just try hard and apply themselves they could get the class over with and not have to take it in college.

Sometimes the AP teachers don't prepare the students. I'm not saying it's okay because I too was irritated by this in highschool. But what does this arguing and moaning solve? Nothing and it doesn't make anything better for them either. When they go to college, it'll be funny other than the fact it holds you back a bit, but most of the professors won't take their crap, and the ones that do get walked all over. One of my professors actually quit because of students like that.
well i'm a little lucky i guess, i'm in three AP classes and no one in them complains and what not we just do the work and go on with our lives. BUT when i go to my normal classes (the ones that are not AP) now there is where all the lazy people are! I mean i have people carelessly failing my english class just because they DON'T FEEL like working today! which really does bug me a little, i find the class even a little too easy i have a 97 in there! but i don't know i just LOVE my AP classes over anything else!
Wow, I wish my school even offered three AP classes. I understand what you're saying about those particular types of lazy people though... I know a few like that, and they never fail to get on my nerves.
