[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all the parents stressing about grades, I can assure you that there was a lot LESS stress with my freshman CS major, NMSF, 11 APs, 1560 SAT and 4.5 GPA then my 2.3 GPA 11th grader taking the easiest course load. So what if you get a couple of Bs and Cs. You will have options! [/quote]

Did you mean a lot MORE stress with your high-achieving kid?[/quote]

No, I think PP meant they had tons more stress with a 2.3 GPA kid in all regular courses---they were just hoping that kid graduates HS and figures out a path to doing something as a career.  
They likely want their kid to move out of the house eventually and be able to support themselves, and let's be honest a kid that struggles to get a 2.3 in HS is likely not going to want to continue with classes at even a CC---they likely are done with the traditional educational route and will need to find a path that they like and can do well at and that hopefully pays them enough to be a self sufficient adult.  That would definately stress me out much more than a kid with mostly all As with honors and AP courses.
