[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, please do health A and B over the summer, so she can free up her school year for more interesting stuff. My severely ADHD kid graduated years ago and in his time, there was only one health class required, that he was able to easily knock out one summer, no problem. My non-ADHD kid did both A and B the summer before 9th grade - it was incredibly boring and a lot of busy work, but very easy.

I'm not sure exactly what your kid's competencies are, but the key to summer classes is always to do the work that day, as it comes. Otherwise you get so behind you risk not being able to complete it all. The work is EASY. Kids just need to stay on top of it. Maybe you could remind her every day and ask to check that she submitted it?[/quote]

This is helpful. Not sure we will get A and B both done this summer.

How many nights a week is it?

PP you replied to. I can't recall, and perhaps they changed it from 2 years ago. The other PP does have a point, that sometimes a kid wants an easy class during the year if they have an otherwise intense schedule. But my daughter takes yoga for that purpose this year (heavy year with APUSH, AP Calc BC, AP Physics C). Health class dragged out through the entire year would be more frustrating than relaxing for her, just because it's so repetitive. She was glad to get it over with, if you see what I mean. There is unfortunately nothing redeeming about those classes. I wish they were taught in a more interesting way! Your kid can always take a fun elective to round out a heavy year.
