[quote=Anonymous]OP, the school gives measured advice that families might or might not not follow. DC is at a non-AP private but all of this still applies. Like you, I have been shocked at things I have learned over time. Taking an honors class as a freshman that is not open to freshmen. Taking SATs early when school doesn’t allow freshmen or sophomores in the test. I don’t have the saavy or the money to keep up, so my kid charts their own course and we will just have to see if it works. For example, they are taking 6 major courses but 3 out of 4 possible honors. The honors limit is supposed to be 3, but several are doing 4 anyway—but not with the extra class. Why the extra class? Because they need it and are interested for their area of study. Why not 4 honors? Because that’s ridiculous and I want them to have a life outside of school. There is no winning here, each kid is different. If mine is rejected from an Ivy because of 3 honors, so be it.[/quote]
