[quote=Anonymous]What does your son think? Are there electives he wants to try? Extracurriculars he wants to make time for? Higher level electives he wants that have prerequisites? Subjects he loves and wants to dive into? I think all of the classes you are considering sound like good options. Keep in mind, however, that there are lots of other classes that are also good options, that having challenging classes only reflect well if the student performs well in them, that the student needs sleep (and even some time to just relax and unwind, not to mention a social life), that colleges are also interested in extracurriculars, and that burnout is real. It sounds like he is getting a strong foundation, so I’d let him chart his direction. If you’re worried about college admissions, my personal opinion is that it’s more important to choose the best college for a student, than what some list ranks as the “best” college. [/quote]
