[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This a dumb discussion.  Pursue and gain knowledge and experience that are of value and you can be paid for what you have mastered.  If you want to go with the surgeon that skipped the AP or the IB or the Honors or whatever was the toughest class available, go for it.[/quote]

Perhaps a level of Biology or Chem that was at a pace that allowed a student to grasp the material better and served as encouragement to pursue the subject matter later also matters? Learning is not a zero sum game and it also lacks a linear timeline. If a AP class that was more discouraging because of the volume and pace of the material drove kids away from the subject matter then what was accomplished? Learning should not be about attrition.

We agree about that.  There are different levels of academics and soccer as well to accommodate students of different abilities.  Look - you know your kid better then some fool on a chat forum.  Pay attention and help them make good decisions.  The right decisions for one will not be the right decisions for others.[/quote]
