[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you just want the easy As so head on back to public school because you're barking up the wrong tree.

My kid took a few honors classes in areas he was good in- English and history. He didn't get into those classes until 11th grade and no APs until senior year when he took two. He got into all of the schools he applied to because he chose wisely.

Oh and just an FYI. Many private schools limit college applications to 10 or 12. If you don't like it, it's best you go back to public school now. They won't budge on that either.[/quote]

Not at all true but I do want my kid to be someplace that will allow an advanced class without the exact needed grade, which varies. If I had a crystal ball and knew he would be ok for a few honors and/or AP jr year that would be ok too but I don't, and without wiggle room it's a huge risk to take. If a non honors mostly A student is looking at Towson or Delaware St as their best options I will pass on paying 25k a year for that. I imagine my son will largely apply to public universities so with the common app I fail to see how the school can limit these things. But if they can, it's a good question to ask and possibly another reason to go. [/quote]

You want something for nothing. Head back to public school. Most people want th we or kids to get a better education so they send them to private school. MUCH higher expectations there, as you can see. But if you just want the As, whether they are deserved or not, go on back and live in fantasy land. [/quote]
