[quote=Anonymous]I think "senioritis" is a real thing.  Most are completely burned out by the time they hit January, with 9th through 11th academic pressure and the total insanity of college application season behind them.  Count her lucky if she's gotten into her dream school and is still maintaining As in all her classes.  To your point about the lack of rigor in 12th grade courseload, it really depends on what courses she's taking.  If she has a truly rigorous course schedule full of harder AP courses, I doubt she'd be able to skip so many courses and still maintain an A in all of them.  If she's picked regular HN courses or much lighter AP load (both in course selection and the # of courses), then it's entirely possible to coast with As without showing up for class.  So I think it all depends on the courses she is taking.  Either way, I'd let her relax and enjoy the last few months of her high school life.  And, I also don't think projecting her behavior today into what her college life will be makes any logical sense.  Sounds like she's more the kid who knows what they're doing and her absenses are a calculated move on her part, knowing that she's able to do the coursework without showing up to classes.  To me, that says more about the courses she's taking this year than anything else.  [/quote]
