[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on your description, I would stick with public school OP and save your money. Have your kid avoid AP classes and they won't feel the pressure.[/quote] I am not sure if this was snarky or well-intentioned, but this advice seems strange to me. "Oh, well, if you can't take the heat in the best schools, just go public?" That seems to write off a big swath of solid private schools that might be a good fit. Likewise, I don't think avoiding AP is a good solution. There is a middle ground: taking just a few AP courses, whatever the student needs to be challenged and not super-stressed. Again, your comment seems to suggest, "If you can't take it, just settle for average run of courses." Frankly, I don't think it is too much to aim for a balanced course schedule and a supportive environment. [/quote]
