[quote=Anonymous]OP back. Thanks so much all for these comments. He'll definitely take the same foreign language through high school and I imagine end up with an AP there. I think it's pretty unlikely he'd pursue engineering, and he has zero interest in robotics... but it's just hard to be certain at this point, because academically he has diverse interests but no singular passion. It sounds like right now we should aim for a well-rounded, rigorous education without worrying too much about the nitty-gritty details (and about whether other kids are taking summer math). It is just unsettling to see the race around us for more and more academic rigor and worry whether we're doing right by our kid. I don't want to shortchange him, but I also don't want to get into a battle with him about what he should do, if he's not inclined to pursue extra enrichment like some kids are, and mess up our relationship or his mental health.

I actually think he might like AP Stats because he has a very practical way of thinking, but AP AB Calc would take priority I think, if both are not on the table.[/quote]
