[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if it were me I'd have my kid stick with band rather than double up with AP Physics, as there are still two more years after that to take APs in physics, chemistry, and/or bio. That's a decently heavy courseload as is, and I feel strongly that having one class period a day that's in the arts is so good for kids' mental health as a brain reset, not to mention the camaraderie of playing together. This is especially true for kids with ADHD IME.

She really doesn't need to implicitly "declare a major" in HS in order to pursue science in college. She's on track to get a really solid science grounding in HS and be competitive for solid applications to colleges/universities for a science or engineering track.

If it were my kid, I'd advise her to stay in band this year, and then consider dropping the foreign language either for junior or definitely for senior year to make more room for science classes (especially because AP chem and bio are two-period classes). She's already got four years after next year and that is great.[/quote]
