[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest graduated in '23 and my youngest is in high school now.

What's important is mapping out the high school courses in 8th grade when they have to pick 9th grade courses, so you have a 4 year plan. It can change, of course, but the mental exercise of looking at everything the high school offers and balancing AP courses and their prerequisites so your kid doesn't get 6 APs in one year, is pretty eye-opening. Not to mention that some prerequisites can be waived if you ask. Health courses can be taken in the summer.

I was on the PTA executive board of my kids' elementary for many years. After that, my involvement and volunteering decreased. I did not find that school involvement was important in high school, but my involvement in my teen's life was and is of paramount importance. However adolescents are prickly, so that bond of trust needs to be built before adolescence, and then nurtured throughout.

Ehhh. Six APs are doable because some APs are less intense than others and some teachers are more capable and organized to teach and teach AP level classes without causing unnecessary drama for upperclassmen. [/quote]
