[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. PP, thank you for these suggestions. I'll look into USCOUT. I never even thought about CTY, but DD is (or at least was) a member. She still gets emails from CTY.

I just looked up the CTY option, but there's an evening meeting time required (or so it seems - maybe it's optional) and DD almost certainly could not do that because she'd have sports conflicts. However, she & I will call on Monday to find out more details.

DD's scheduling issues extend beyond what I've described here. My mind is blown by the experience, but I just want her to find a way to get the classes she needs. Technically, she is entitled to them by law, since she has an IEP, but she also needs a good rec from the counselor so we need to tread lightly. Plus, it's not really the counselor's fault. Our district doesn't have the funding to offer as many sections of classes that are needed by many seniors.

I also looked at Stanford online high school, but the price tag was staggering (even for one class) and DD would have had to have applied last fall.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, PP.[/quote]

Homeschooler PP here again with a correction: I meant to type UCSCOUT earlier (my kids haven't used it, hence my mistake), so hopefully you'll find the correct site.

My kids are actually also taking classes at Stanford OHS as well as online classes just open to homeschoolers. OHS is great but, depending on the class and instructor, can be extremely rigorous. I know that the AP Calc BC class teaches far beyond a regular AP Calc BC course, which works for some kids, but not all. In any case, the application deadline has long passed.

As for the feedback on Laurel Springs, I'm not surprised. A lot of the high school classes aimed at homeschoolers/ online schoolers have a significantly higher workload than what I hear about many regular schools, but that's a whole new topic..

Good luck in finding a solution; I'm still astonished at this situation..
