Since when is there a Algebra AP? [/quote]

Sorry, you are correct. I just checked her course list, it is Calculus :). I am a foreigner, so for me it is all math. [/quote]

If you pay so little attention to your daughter that you don't even know that she is taking calculus, not algebra, so late in the year, no wonder your wife feels like she has to be a tiger mom.  Maybe if you paid more attention to her, she wouldn't feel so pressured.  She probably is striving, hoping that if she does well enough, you'll actually care enough to know what courses she is taking.[/quote]

I think you confused me with OP. I am the pp and I posted earlier that we never control our kids and never checked their homework after the 3rd grade. They all made their schedules and just informed us. They all getting 4.0 unweighted GPA so far. I am the mom by the way. I do pay attention to my kids life, but I never pressure them to take specific courses just because every one else kids doing it. And I have my life too, so I don't memorize my kids schedule. [/quote] Sounds to me like your kids are raising themselves because they have a checked-out parent--trying to be perfect to get their parents to notice them and show they care. [/quote]
