[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rising junior -[b] 2 college classes at the community college[/b], football camp, 3 days at Hugh O'Brien Leadership conference, 2 week family vacation, lots of football practice and golf/tennis/swim at country club in between times. He will also need to drive his sister to her golf and tennis lessons.[/quote]

PP, just curious why the college courses at the community college?  To advance in math or science?  Thank you.[/quote]
He took pysch 101, soc 101, Eng 101 and 102 during the school  year, this summer he will take Stats and Western Civ. He's knocking out some of the gen ed stuff that will apply regardless of his major.[/quote]

This is what a bunch of our neighbors are doing. Instead of AP's they just take the actual college class. [/quote]

Your kid was taking college classes during the year?  Why does he need to "knock out" college courses while he's a high school sophomore -- is he planning to do one of those 6 year BS/MD programs or something like that?  Because honestly this sounds weird.  [/quote]

Because we are poor. We can't affford SAT prep or tutors. My son will do 2 years at Montgomery College, then 2 at UMCP. The sooner he gets his credits from Montgomery College the sooner he gets to go to UMCP, which is his motivation to take these classes. [/quote]

Mine took 10 APs in MCPS and will get college credit for all of them (pending the scores for the last few but assuming they are consistent with earlier scores). DC can get through college in 3 years as a result but isn't aiming for that (money not a factor). So you can get to the same place with APs. In my DCs school the level of teaching and caliber of students in AP classes is generally better than MC, based on what we've been told.[/quote]

I understand you CAN do that but my child prefers MC vs. the AP environment. [/quote]
