[quote=Anonymous]Potomac's accelerated courses are extraordinarily difficult and they only get harder the higher up you go. What I have learned with my kids is that if you are getting solid B's or below, you do not belong in that accelerated course. Both for the sake of the grade and the sake of the education, it seems like your kid should drop down a level. As for college placement, there are very few (if any) Potomac students who get a 4.0. It seems like if your kid has a 3.5+, they will end up at an extremely selective school, meaning a top 20ish university or top SLAC. A bad freshman year won't kill you. Get better grades in easier classes, enjoy learning for the sake of learning, have fun in high school. Your kid should be fine. [/quote]
