[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PPs. I just toured the local high school and there seems to be an AP craze so that high schoolers can get right to that college work. One parent actually asked why her parent had to wait until 10th grade to start taking APs. I know that I will either have to get with the program or look for an environment that will allow a little more room for  development. My DS is young for her class and I suspect not ready for the jump into the accelerated world that is today's HS. Perhaps that's a topic for a different forum![/quote]

I have a child ((9th grader) like this. She is young for her grade and definitely still developing maturity about academic skills. No way would I put her in AP courses now, but by 11th or 12th grade who knows? I saw huge changes in maturity in my older kids between the start and end of high school.I have to keep reminding myself that school isn't a race, and that my kid has time to come into her own. It can be hard in a school environment where everyone seems to be accelerated and thinking about college from the start.[/quote]
