[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taking Foundations of Technology of the FOCS is a good idea - just make sure that's the one you can take as a rising 9th grader.  If PP is right, that means you can't take Health until you're a rising 10th grader -- another required course that is good to get out of the way during the summer.

A warning about FOT during the summer -- it is surprisingly time-consuming for what is a complete blow-off class during the year.   I say this as the mom of an all-A magnet kid.  People kept saying that, and I found it hard to believe beforehand, and then I witnessed it in action.  It's not hard, just time-consuming -- like you had to build a model of an organ of the human body that performed one of the major functions of that organ, and yes, you can do a bad job, but still, you have to do it.

A second warning -- make sure your kid needs this requirement.  I've heard that kids from certain middle school programs have already satisfied it.  Blair SMACS kids also satisfy it through their program.  [/quote]

Talk to your HS guidance counselor about your plans. We kept health in the regular year curriculum because they don't offer the honors version during the summer. It's an easy A and your kid may as well get the extra GPA bump from an honors course.[/quote]
