[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. To the PPs above with the helpful long posts, thank you so much for this. I will definitely take all of your points into account, especially about tempering my expectations around grades and the EF coach. Were there any particular AP or honors classes that were good for your kid who is going to study engineering? My son also wants to study engineering and I feel like not only do I have to figure out how to make school 'work' for him --- but also how to take the 'right' classes to get into an engineering degree. It is a lot even though I work in a school. I am an ELA teacher in VA and just don't know that much about math and science in MoCo.

To the PP who keeps insisting that these kids should not take advanced classes. Let me repeat - your attitude damages children. These students die emotionally of boredom and give up on school without the right help and right challenge. Please read this and consider it: https://qz.com/317309/how-some-of-americas-most-gifted-kids-wind-up-in-prison[/quote]

It sounds like your $hitty teaching is what actually damages children.[/quote]

And again, I am not saying they shouldn’t take advanced classes. I am saying they should NOT get extra time in their advanced classes.

Honestly, you sound dumb.[/quote]

You have no idea how 2e kids work.

If you are so interested in 2e kids try reading a book.
