[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]She is very rigid and stubborn and has decided that she wants to take all of the highest level classes in HS,[/quote]

This should not be her choice. This should be a parental choice. With teacher/school input. She does not gt to decide. If you want some framework, this is what I would do: Re: Final Year-End Grades only ... she can choose 1 more advanced level subject for next year for every 2 B+s she gets. She selects 1 class choosing between those 2 subjects. (you could make a B rather than a B+ be the criteria)[/quote]

[b]I'd rather not be in the position to impose something on her that she is 100 percent against.[/b]

When I say she struggles in MS - I specifically mean that it takes her at least 5-6 times longer to do everything than other kids.  Grade-wise and test-wise - she absolutely excels and usually gets straight A+s across the board.  The only time she doesn't is when she forgets to turn work in. And this is completely self-driven - we do not pressure her at all to get As. [/quote]

DP. The bolded is concerning. With all due respect, you are the parent and she is the child. She does not get an equal say in something like this when it's affecting quality of life and other issues. Also, this is not how the world works. Just because she wants something and is being inflexible about it doesn't mean she is entitled to it. [/quote]
