[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your DD is getting Bs and Cs you might want to look in a bit more detail as to why beyond just honors/regular classes.  Maybe all it is is level, but maybe there's other stuff going on (too much sports/music) or something else.

Not that everyone can get As, but I'd be looking for more consistent performance before spreading her even thinner.[/quote]

Do you think every private school kid gets all A's?  You have got to be kidding.  Getting a B as a freshman in Trig honors is very good.  Shame on you to make the OP think there is something wrong with her child.  [/quote]

New PP here. I don't think for a second the poster was trying to say there was something wrong with the kid. I think they were saying that maybe sports were taking up too much time - and that by adding to the workload, is that going to make all her classes suffer.

I understood this quite easily. Maybe you're having a PMS day or you're hungover or something and completely over-reacting.[/quote]

Correct - as that poster, that was not my intention.  No, not all kids get As, except in Lake Wobegon.  But the OP seemed to worry about DD's ability to do the work in honors classes, and I observed that the issue may go beyond honors classes to be one of ability to keep up sufficiently because of other commitments.  Of course, OP may be happy to have DD do lots of extracurriculars and have grades suffer.[/quote]
