[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids can definitely opt for a shortened schedule for senior year, so I would think you could do other years as long as you are getting math and English each year. I do not think a child like this should take math over the summer- it is grueling.

The other option is to work with your counselor to get a schedule that works. During my son's freshman year, we alternated an academic block with an easier class. I don't remember the exact order, but it went something like this:

Period 1: Math
Period 2: Guitar
Period 3: English
Period 4: Resource
Period 5: Lunch
Period 6: History
Period 7: PE
Period 8: Science

He was in Bridge so there was some more flexibility like if he couldn't handle a transition he would hang out in the bridge office. This worked great for him.[/quote]

Maybe it depends on the school but in our MCPS we only have 7 periods so they'd take Guitar or PE, not both if they do a resource class.

You need four years of math and English but you don't for science and history so maybe do one or the other for freshman year just for a transition?  Not sure if that's allowed.  But, you also need two years of a foreign language so that schedule that poster is the right idea but wouldn't work.

Another option might be to take classes online through pathways to graduation - think you can mix it but not sure.  https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/onlinelearning/courses/pathway/[/quote]
