NO ONE IS REMEMBERING THAT SOME KIDS LIKE TO LEARN!

Sorry for shouting, but you people make me sick. 
I haven't gone through the American education system and my kids are not yet in high school, but I  loved my classes and spent hours reading my textbooks, especially all the chapters that were not taught in class or part of the curriculum.

If OP's children love to learn and want a challenge, more power to them, and congratulations on their work ethic. They will be the leaders in their chosen field.

Personally, I think it's my job as a parent to teach my kids that exhibiting *extremely* unhealthy behaviors (e.g. pulling regular all-nighters) is not acceptable no matter how much you love something, whether it's learning (and in this case, I'm not entirely convinced that's the motivation behind taking 7 AP classes in a year), their chosen career field, working on cars, writing poetry, or really anything. Especially at the age of 17. Raising an unbalanced child who puts class work instead of their basic health is not something I would ever be OK with. [/quote]
