[quote=Anonymous]My kid is doing it. Junior year, 8 APs and an internship (2 extra classes beyond the regualr schedulr). Fall sport that occupies about 15 hours per week. It is incredibly intense. They do socialize with friends but not all weekend and they seem to be suited for this kind of lifestyle. They're doing well in school and are not a star athlete, just hanging out on the varsity team. They have several very demanding extracurriculars, some seasonal or based around competitions. My observation as to how and why this works for my kid is simple: they're just built different. Different than me, DH, and a lot of other kids. Why? No idea. But they have high aspirations, high capacity, and high drive. We watch for burnout and talk about bandwidth and goals but so far so good. It's not typical. [/quote]
