[quote=Anonymous]I think what is most important is for the child -- CHILD -- to focus on what they need to focus on today.  AP courses are great if the kid is interested in the subject area.  Otherwise, you are heading for burnout.

Your focus seems to be on college.  That probably tells me you were not raised in the US and you do not understand how our system works.

We are a wealthy country.  We can afford for kids to make mistakes.  In terms of life success, the key element is what they do after college and what they learn.  As for college, well, the prestige is where the degree is from, not where you are admitted out of HS.  UVA -- good school, you can get into doing well at NOVA.

Oh, and if you are going to med/law/grad school, good grades from any good school, whether it be Va Tech, UVA, Harvard, UMD, OSU, can get the person into a top grad school/law school/med school (with good test scores).

I know.  I barely graduated HS,  when to a crappy college for one year, did really well, transferred to my state school (Va Tech), did well there, and got my PhD from an elite program in my field (Penn State).
