[quote=Anonymous]I agree with other posters that you should keep talk or thoughts of college to yourself for the next couple of years. It's ok to educate yourself, but try not to project that onto your child. Junior/senior year gets crazy enough with college talk so wait as long as you can. The only way your child can really get caught off guard is by not taking the right classes as that is hard to undo. You don't have to worry much in 9th grade so you are good for now. Have your child take that classes that they can do well in. If there is a subject along the way that they like then they should stretch in that subject. Remember that no-one at all sees your child's 8th grade transcript (unless you are applying to different HS). As soon as you hit 9th grade, your middle school life is dust and you start again. It will be ok, stay calm, enjoy the ride and go to all the school info meetings about class choices etc. It is not really more complicated than that for now. Good luck[/quote]
