[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So piecing together the various threads on this - my suspicion is that OP's daughter went to TPMS, did not get into Blair STEM, and is now back at BCC.  Thus, she had an incredibly rigorous Math and Science background for MS, she's very smart (given that she got into TPMS) and it is quite likely that Honors Bio will be a breeze.  She will be challenged as she goes up the ladder. AP Chem and AP Bio and AP Physics are all no joke classes with hours of homework - even for the math/science kids.  AP Calc and AP Stats are similar.  Let this year be the year she figures out whether she wants to do any extracurriculars, the year she finds her friends and tribe, the year she figures out what she wants to focus on.  All of that requires time - time she wouldn't have with a really rigorous courseload in 9th grade.  [/quote]

Disagree.  OP says that at each level change OP hopes the courses will be the right level of challenge and they're not (presumably being 3rd grade, middle school, HS).  I don't think that fits with your narrative.[/quote]
