[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid took AP Government in tenth grade and then did the full IB diploma. The AP Gov was a lot. There was no other option if she wanted the IB diploma track. There is no need to push a 15 year old into all these college level classes. College is for college. High school is for teenagers. If your kid is a very, very gifted kid, that’s one thing, but why make them work harder than they ever will in the future, for the most part? In college they take classes several hours a day, in high school it’s classes all day and then the extra hours of work. For what? Take the parent ego out of it and let your kid be a teenager. [/quote] High school students do much of the work in class. These college level classes are specifically intro level classes, and often not even replacements for college classes, when the students retake the same course more intensively in college.[/quote]
