Yes, AP classes are harder, they're supposed to be. They prepare you for the next step. All of you who play sports know that you have to reach the next level by practicing daily. Student musicians, do you get better by just looking at your instrument in the corner? Well, the same goes for studying. You can't just look at the book and know what's in it, or look at the words without understanding and expect to know the content. Teachers aren't always fair, or even like you, but guess what, so what!!! In ten or fifteen years you won't even remember their names, but what about the job you could have had if you had graduated from college. And who pays the consequences, certainly not this teacher or professor. Plus, I know I don't want my next surgeon to operate on me with Cs and Ds in biology. Or the car I drive, designed by someone who failed physics. The other argument is that students don't enjoy life being stuck studying all day. This is just a short window of your life. You have been in college for 4 years and in graduate school for another 3 years or more depending on your major. Studies show that we now live to be 80, 90 and 100 years old. You do the math. I would rather you spend your life doing something you love doing because it's your passion and it took you 8 years to be the best at it, rather than living day to day, check paycheck after paycheck because you had the chance to stop and smell the roses. at 15 years old. On the way
