The numbers in this article are certainly frustrating to someone who loves computer science. However, even if a kid was certain that they wanted to major in computer science in college, I'd still tell them to take AP English before AP CS. Why? Because almost every college degree program requires an English class or two and most colleges allow AP exam scores to count for college credit. The kid could get a general class out of the way save some money or perhaps use that time to explore an advanced class or an interest outside their major.
