[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some kids might be doing this.  My kids won't be.  I won't allow it.  They can take a few, but I also want them to have a nice life outside of school.  They play sports, are involved in other extra curricular activities.  They also have time to just hang out with friends or to relax. My family just personally felt that we wanted to prioritize boundaries, taking care of one's mental health, etc.  Maybe some kids are able to take 10 AP's, and play sports and do other extra curriculars and hang out with friends and sleep too.  I'm not sure how, but I don't want my kids to try.  Whether they go to our state flagship university or to an Ivy, the outcome of their life isn't dependent on where they end up going to college.

Our kids were smart but not geniuses, and managed pretty easily to take 8 to 10 AP classes throughout high school, be involved in extracurriculars, and have active social lives.  They typically took one AP sophomore year and four or so in each of the junior and senior years.

Sure your kids can do less, and more power to them.  But it's not as tough as you think.[/quote]
