[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rising junior -[b] 2 college classes at the community college[/b], football camp, 3 days at Hugh O'Brien Leadership conference, 2 week family vacation, lots of football practice and golf/tennis/swim at country club in between times. He will also need to drive his sister to her golf and tennis lessons.[/quote]

PP, just curious why the college courses at the community college?  To advance in math or science?  Thank you.[/quote]
He took pysch 101, soc 101, Eng 101 and 102 during the school  year, this summer he will take Stats and Western Civ. He's knocking out some of the gen ed stuff that will apply regardless of his major.[/quote]

This is what a bunch of our neighbors are doing. Instead of AP's they just take the actual college class. [/quote]

Your kid was taking college classes during the year?  Why does he need to "knock out" college courses while he's a high school sophomore -- is he planning to do one of those 6 year BS/MD programs or something like that?  Because honestly this sounds weird.  [/quote]
It is an option at our school for kids who are working well above grade. We do not live in the DMV. In our state if your child meets certain criteria then he/she can take college classes at their local community college and the state pays the tuition. Our child is in private school and the state still pays the community college tuition and books. Most parents whose kids qualify take advantage of the because it saves a lot of tuition money later on. Your child can start as early as 9th grade if they meet the criteria. What's so weird about that?[/quote]
