[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've hired an strategist of sorts who works at a different school than where DS goes and our strategist has been super helpful with helping us choose classes.

Bizarre you cannot do this yourself.  We looked at things starting in 6th grade to make sure we could get in all the requirements as early as possible.  It's really not hard to do.

I emailed the guidance counselor but they were only partially helpful.  I also reached out to the teachers I knew who would respond and my child talked to some as well.  You go on their student account and select what you want that fits within the graduation requirements.  [/quote]

Bizarre that you are doing this got a high schooler. Isn’t this up to the kid? Why are you emailing their teachers?![/quote]

You must work for mcps if you think a 14 or 15 year old should be left to choose their courses without input from anyone.[/quote]

Were you not a 14/15 year old before? Did you really have your parents determining what you did? I certainly didn’t. Neither did anyone I know. What has changed? [/quote]

I did.  My mom was involved with everything, even in college.  My mom even picked the colleges to apply to.  Every family is different.  So, nothing changed in our family.[/quote]

Absolutely horrific. Does she still control your life? You know your role as a parent is to help your child move toward independence.  [/quote]

DP. "Absolutely horrific" is a bit much here. Different families make different choices.[/quote]
