[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, we clearly don't live on the same planet, OP.
My senior, and all the other senior he knows, has been working long hours on their college applications, with a full load of courses, most of them APs, and have been stressed out of skulls since last summer when they prepared their SATs or ACTs.

College decisions have started to trickle in from Early Action, and the second semester has just started. I can feel the relief emanating from my senior, but he's not done yet, because he's been deferred from his favorite college and will prepare a letter of continued interest and ask for an additional letter of recommendation to go with his first semester grades he needs to send. Also, he needs to continue working hard to take a few AP exams in May, which he wants to do so he can get strategic college credit, depending on which college he ends up going to.

So this idea of a half-day schedule and goofing off is just not happening in my senior's circle of friends and acquaintances.

This is why I want to make sure he has a totally work-free summer!!! God knows he's earned it. I will offer him a lavish vacation full of the foodie things he loves.

You don't run in the same circle as many if your kids can do a work free summer and a lavish vacation.  Must be nice.[/quote]
