[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent of a rising 9th grader. Before this change to grading I wanted my DC take as many AP's as possible even with their year round club sports and other extracurriculars, namely music. I justified this because in the old grading system A+B = A. Now I don't know if this strategy will work for DC. Given all their time commitments something will have to give.[/quote] Yes, your child will have to choose between school work and extracurriculars. That should be the case.[/quote] [b]Kids should be doing both. Why would you be against extracurricular activities[/b]. [/quote] That's hilarious... of course you do both. But you can't expect to look like an academic star on paper when your priority is outside school. Everyone has only so much time, including teenagers. Their time will reflect their priorities, and colleges will be able to judge those.[/quote]
