[quote=Anonymous]My kid’s counselor explained the AD path as a blueprint to make sure that students are taking the right classes to be competitive in college admissions. A standard diploma with good grades plus wisely chosen electives that don’t exactly fit that blueprint can achieve the same thing, but many families aren’t going to have the wherewithal to research how to best make elective choices that position their kids well to achieve their college goals. It’s going to suck when some kids get to senior year and realize that they aren’t competitive at their college of choice because they just signed up for whatever electives appealed to them the past four years. I can already hear the outrage over not receiving better guidance. I guess it’s up to the guidance counselors now to double and triple their workload in course selection season to make sure kids understand the ramifications of their choices.[/quote]
