[quote=Anonymous]In our experience at 2 big 5 schools, the English classes at these schools are rigorous and both of my strong writers have been really pushed and had to work hard for A range grades so the learning is there.

It does suck for GPA purposes in comparison to STEM kids (especially for the schools with the cum laude society or rank based on weighted GPA). For college admissions, you can consider having your child take European or World history in 10th and taking the AP test even if school isn't offering an AP exam (same goes for US History in 11th, but most schools I think have honors history by then). They can take the AP English Lang and AP World Language tests in 11th (again even if school doesn't offer these classes).  Some self studying is required especially for history--for English/World Language it's more about practicing to know how to pace themself, but general content/skills will have been taught even if the class isn't officially AP.  These tests would help show some advanced competency on the part of your student (and potentially give them some college credit which is nice).[/quote]
