[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. My teen is really bright but doesn’t always study/prepare as much as they should (imo). They could easily have straight As but have 2Bs first quarter. They also have activities and friends. I do encourage balance.

I wanted to hear what is common for 10th grade students who are on the advanced track. I want to encourage growth but not overwhelm. I am finding this hard with all the choices! [/quote]

If your kid is getting any Bs they are not ready for APs.[/quote]

Op again. I disagree. Like I said before, they could get straight As but didn’t study hard for a couple of things. I would rather they have access to harder content and learn a challenging curriculum. [/quote]

Sure, they’ll get Bs there too.[/quote]

Not OP, but I have a similar kid. So they get Bs. So what? The important part is learning and engaging with the material and ideas. My kid will pretty much get a B in everything because he’ll do enough to get the B, however much that is, and not enough to get an A, however little extra that might be. Infuriating for a parent to watch, but I’m not going to let his teenager boneheadedness keep him out of interesting and challenging classes.[/quote]

I think that’s an admirable stance. I hope that’s what your kid wants as well.[/quote]
