| If your teen took this class, what was it like? My rising 9th grade DC has ADHD and a learning disability. They are thinking of taking Health A online this summer to free up space for Resource or an easy elective during the year. Is this a good strategy? What are the schedule and workload like? |

| My DD took it last summer between 9th and 10th grade and it was a TON of work. She is a huge procrastinator but managed to pull an A by the end, despite being warned she was on the cusp of failing a few times. It's boring I think more than anything, its not analytical it's just regurgitation. |

| It is a lot of busy work. There are assignments due frequently, and the important thing is to keep up and complete them. You can go from A to D quickly if you miss assignments. |

| I would not recommend it for an ADHD kid. It is a ton of work. Would be a bad way to start of HS. |

| It is not hard, but it is a lot of work. |

| The MCPS website says registration is in Parentvue. Does anyone have advice for where in Parentvue this will open? |

It said noon, and it's listed at the top of the Registration page, but not on the dropdown menu for registrations. Help? |

My magnet kid was surprised at the workload. |

It's an entire semester in 3 weeks. What did your "magnet" kid expect? |

He'd taken two other summer classes before and the volume of assignments was surprising in comparison. |

Mine was happy to have taken it in the summer, despite the sheer volume of fairly simple assignments. Happy not to have wasted an entire excruciating semester on it. |
