[quote=Anonymous]Your kid can go from BC to AB but BC will show up as withdrawal.

My DC had an awful teacher for AB. Causing her lots of stress. On the last day when it was allowed (the 25th day of school), she moved down to Calculus with Applications. Her plan is to take that class as a junior and then to take BC next year as a senior (BC teachers are supposed to be much better plus she'll already have a foundation in calc).

A few weeks into the plan, I'm glad she made the decision she did. She is a lot less stressed and I feel like she is getting a better foundation in calculus. Isn't that goal?

What grade is your DC in? What do they want to major in in college? At a certain point, you can't make all your decisions based on colleges. If the BC shows up on your kid's transcript with a W but your kid is less stressed and you feel they are learning more in AB - isn't that the ultimate goal? Won't that serve them better in the long run? They could always take BC next year (provided they are a senior).

And if a college holds it against your kid that they dropped down from BC to AB...well, that college isn't the right college for your kid.[/quote]
