[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC enrolled in summer Geometry, and during those five weeks, enjoyed multiple weekend trips with family, followed it up with summer camps, and acquired new gardening skills in the evenings. By undertaking summer Geometry, the only sacrifice for DC was reduced screen time, with less cell phone time, less video games, and little time for social media binges. Looking back, DC felt it was a worthwhile tradeoff. [/quote] I am glad that it worked for you and your child and that other people make it work. I know kids in DS Troop who are missing summer camp so they can do geometry. I am not going to ask the kids if it is their idea or their parents. I do know that they have attended summer camp in the past and have enjoyed themselves because they talk about it. Maybe they are fine not attending but I know my kid would be bummed to miss out on summer camp. I know a co-workers who daughter decided she wanted to do Spanish this summer and is taking summer school. She knowingly choose taking a class over going to Europe. Kids do make those choices. The kids I know whose parents said no to geometry last summer are going to be attending TJ so it didn't hurt their chances to attend and they seem to have enjoyed traveling with their parents and hanging out with friends. The OP has not said if taking geometry is her daughters idea or the OPs idea. The way the post is written this sounds like a parents suggestion and the child is lukewarm to the idea. [/quote]
