I ran screaming from the AP track on the principle that I didn't wanna and they couldn't make me. My mother is considered rather a black sheep of the family for many reasons, among which are how she handled my being Rather Clever. Instead of shoving me in the pressure-cooker, set to Genius Harvard Scholar, she pretty much let me do my own thing. Which led to some Epic Battles over grades and schoolwork, but did give me a very strong sense of self.
Most schoolwork in k-12 isn't worth doing, honestly. I ever have kids (not likely), it's private or homeschooling.
