[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP Comp Science [i]Principles[/i] satisfies the tech credit requirement, and it's not a very difficult class. It's considered a good first AP class for 9th graders.[/quote]

So you think it is okay to take with all honors courses, including Alg 2, Spanish 3, as well as AP Gov?  That is what we are trying to figure out.  Because I would prefer her to have the art a later year but don't want to overwhelm her this year.

You know your child's interests and proclivities best.  Some kids will have a super hard time in Hon Alg 2, and need a tutor to get a B and for others it will come naturally and they will get As with little effort other than keeping up with the problem sets.  Ditto Spanish.  AP Gov is generally a lot of work for anyone to do well, but a good teacher makes it efficient and manageable. Trading out Art or PE for AP Comp Sci Principles will increase workload, but whether it is worthwhile is completely dependent on your child's goals.
