[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is not sure what she wants to do for her career path, but not sure if I expect her to know since she is just a freshman this year.  She is overall an A student in the subjects that she takes, works hard to get her As, has ADHD but have learned to manage it somewhat decently.

I am helping her finalize her schedule, and she wants to double up on the Sciences next year to get a feel of what she wants to do in the future.  She currently in band, and so is dropping next year to squeeze in an extra science class.  She intends to return to school band in 11th or 12th grade.  Her schedule looks like this.  Does this seem unreasonable?

AP Physics 1 (Alg 2 prereq)
Hon Chem
AP Comp Sci
AP US History
Hon Precalc
Hon English
Hon French 4A

As a parent, this seems too much to me but I don't know how difficult AP Physics 1 is.  Personally, I think she should just continue with school band rather than do a second science, but it seems like she wants to have an idea of how much she would enjoy Physics.

Outside of school, she is involved in her instrument through youth orchestra and does field hockey.  She does volunteer for a few hours once a week in something that she is passionate about.

Rough, but doable; it's essentially what some magnet students have to do, so it's in the realm of the possible. I do notice none of the dear county's requirements in PE,Health, Art are there. Is your DD squared away with all those diploma requirements?  Does, for instance, AP Comp Sci meet the technology (or whatever it's called) requirement?[/quote]
