[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is a 9th grader at WnL and in all intensified plus AP World History.  She was also cautioned about taking all intensified plus an AP her freshman year but she isn't having too much trouble.  She did have to adjust her study habits in the first few weeks but that could also just be adjusting to high school...plus online learning.  [/quote]

I’m the OP. I appreciate your taking the time to respond.  It’s pretty clear the IB bound kids at WL are encouraged to take all intensified and AP history. My child would’ve been on IB track if she won the lottery. So I see no reason to discourage all intensified at Yorktown. I do wish the counselors targeted advice based on individual circumstances rather than one size fits all advice to “not take all intensified.”  [/quote]

I have a high schooler who did not end up at YHS but that's where we originally planned for them to go and even though the counselors at YHS have this in their presentation every year, the WMS teachers pushed them to take intensified in all core areas. So I would realize this is the party line for the most part. Plenty of kids do all intensified freshman year.[/quote]
