[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just a TV show but kids don't just "pick up extra AP' classes midyear.  That's not how it works.[/quote]

And she picked up 3 and was also going to get a GED. That was some boneheaded writing, right there.

The rest of the episode was excellent.[/quote]
I posted earlier and I can’t figure out if the writing was boneheaded or if the writing was highlighting that their plan was boneheaded. I have a current HS senior and I didn’t understand what they were talking about.

She’s a sophomore, right? So maybe one solution could be for her to pile on more classes over the summer and junior year, then let her do this if she actually graduates early? Ugh.[/quote]

I think it had to be the writing that was boneheaded. Picking up extra AP classes doesn't help you graduate from high school early. College, yes, but not high school. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Besides, Deja and Malik are smart, and Malik has already been through the graduation/college app process. They are naive about family/emotional stuff, but they can look up school requirements. Plus, as a high school student who had a baby with another high school student, I would think he'd be aware of what a GED means. You can't get to Harvard from there.[/quote]
