[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Would you turn to his mother in the audience and say, "What a different HS experience. Larlo had. I mean, my DD is taking quite a few AP classes, but also wants to have time with friends and participate in her activities!" Then don't say it on the internet. [/quote] You're kidding right? Our kids grew up together and his mom is one of my best friends. I'm her plus one at all the concerts. My friends and I always talk about our kids, their goals, their failures and triumphs, and whether we want to kill them or hug them because teenagers are so challenging. And it's an actual fact that my DD is having a very different HS experience. She'll never win any national music awards and that's totally fine with her. It's not a contest. Again, I wasn't denigrating anyone's choice so I'm puzzled by the sensitivity. [/quote]

You absolutely are denigrating another's choice.  Your words:
If this is true, that's great for your son, but wow, what a different HS experience. My kid's taking quite a few AP classes, but also wants to have time with friends and participate in her activities so will use AP's just for admission. I want her to enjoy the 4 yr college experience. They have the rest of their lives to work and earn money.

So the opposite has to be true: 
That's great for your son, but wow, what a different HS experience. My kid's taking quite a few AP classes, (but if my kid took the load your kid is taking, she wouldn't) have time with friends a participate in her activities, so I will use APs just for admission. (By doing this, your child will not enjoy the 4 year college experience) and I want her to enjoy the 4 year HS experience. (You're pushing your kid to grow up too fast) - They have the rest of their lives to work and earn money.

Also, you beginning with, "if this is true..." means you're not even sure you believe the poster.[/quote]
