[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a rapid reader with a nearly photographic memory, can write and research appropriately, and is easily bored and under-worked in English courses where lots of other students are just messing around. If math can be accelerated, why can't English? Is the best we can do for DC to take AP Lang as a junior and AP Lit as a senior, or is there something earlier or better that is possible?[/quote] So work her harder. Tell her to write longer, better essays. [/quote] Or join the yearbook club or contribute to the school newspaper. Become a critic for the Cappies.[/quote] Those are great ECs for lots of reasons, but none of them will actually cultivate academic writing skills.[/quote] And you think APs do? What do you mean by academic writing skills? You want to drill the creativity and joy out of the kid? [/quote]
