[quote=Anonymous]Within reason, it's a good idea to let your child pick their courses. I can see insisting they do some sort of language in middle school at some point, or that they take Honors or AP in HS if they are capable (or the reverse if they are not). Certainly on board for enforcing things like not stopping language at two years for a college-bound kid or taking minimum science or history, which restricts college choices and a kid may not grasp yet. But I do not see value or widsom in meddling in class electives like "YOU MUST TAKE GUITAR NOT PIANO" or "YOU MUST TAKE CREATIVE WRITING, ECON IS BAD!" That's just micromanaging. (Ask me how I know...my husband tried to do this and was kind of set in his place when our kid talked to their own counselor to explain his case and get it changed. We're all good now.)[/quote]
