Make that rude little fiends on acid and I would agree. AP kids vs. ESL kids are night and day.
Yes, I’ve covered a few AP classes and I’m always blown away by how HUMAN they seem compared to what I’m accustomed to. Don’t get me wrong, in every class I have at least 4 or 5 kids that are gems. But the other 27 are somewhere on the stupid-to-evil continuum, and it’s nonsense to claim that 27 little monsters are no harder to handle than 17.
