[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the science sequence I would recommend, mostly for a STEM kid:

9th grade: Honors or Research Bio (1 science class)
10th grade: Honors or Research Chem (1 science class)
11th grade: AP Bio or Chem and non-AP Physics (2 science classes)
12th grade: AP Chem or Bio (whichever one was not taken in 11th grade) and AP Physics (2 science classes)[/quote]

[b]Oof- that’s a lot of science[/b].  Sounds like a good path for some kids, but too much for my CAP kid (the Humanities magnet) who is also good in science.  Also, since Blair recommends that advanced kids don’t take Honors Bio, but go straight to AP Bio, that means that even if it’s not the greatest idea to do that, the peer group in Honors Bio is likely kids who struggle with science, so not a great option.

Not really. Would you say two art classes in Jr and Sr year is a lot for an aspiring artist?[/quote]

Nope, just a lot for a kid who is simply trying to be well-rounded.  Two of anything is a lot for that kind of kid. As you said, your recommendation is mostly for a STEM kid.   [/quote]
