[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the recommendation.

We have a few issues but this summer was what made us realize we really need some guidance.

DC was approved by their current counselor to take an MCPS summer school class to meet a pre-requite, but after the summer school course was over the school notified us that our home high school course and the central school course were only 90% overlapping, so the credit couldn’t be applied for the purpose it was taken.

Our DC came from a middle school magnet so they were not aware of many of the options at our home school.  As a result they didn’t register for classes freshman year that would have allowed them to advance further in areas of interest.  We requested advising from our local HS school both before freshman year and four separate time during freshman year but those requests were declined.  Our DC, with our support, has been trying to figure out how to catch up on their own (see summer school course) but clearly we haven’t cracked the nut.[/quote]

Why didn’t you consult your MS counselor?

What class is your kid trying to get to or goals are they trying to accomplish?

I agree academic advising should be better, but most of it can be mapped out with just a few outstanding questions if you do a 4yr planner while reviewing the graduation requirements and course guide.
