[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he happy?  Does he want to see friends more?  I hear AP history in 10th grade is no joke.  I guess it is what it is if he wants to take those classes and get As.

My 9th grader is in Alg 2 and see friends, does activities, and seems to study less but have barely any free time all of a sudden.  He is doing school / activities / friends / studying.  Probably in that order! [/quote]

AP World does suck up a lot of their time. Also, my 10th grader who did well in math her whole life and especially in Alg 2 HN (ended with a 99.4% as her grade) is STRUGGLING in AP Precalc. She has a B+ (barely). She also is taking AP World and AP Statistics. She has high As in those classes but it's a lot of work for all her classes. Even honors Chemistry keeps her up late at night. I think that's just how HS is if you want to make good grades and you're not a super genius (my kid is not). She plays 2 Varsity sports, tutors kids, and works PT. She texts her friends but doesn't do much with them outside of school. She did do homecoming with friends but spent the whole day pre-homecoming, studying. [/quote]
