[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have decided that our kids can take mostly regular classes and a few honors classes in the subjects they really like when they get to HS. Both my kids are in the FCPS AAP program both have so much homework in middle school (one in 7th and one in 8th grade).   They see so many middle schoolers, no in their center school, in our neighborhood playing outside (skateboarding or playing soccer) and they get frustrated.  My oldest swims 3x a week for 1.5 hours and loves it, but that also takes time from his homework.  Same with my youngest and travel soccer. I just feel like there must be a balance in life. A kid should also do what he loves, plus a healthy body/mind are so important.  So DH and I have decided that we want them to be kids while they are kids.  They have their rest of their lives to be adults.  We don't care if they go to Mason.  My husband was a royal f**k up and he went to NOVa when he was 20, because he was a mess before. Then he transferred to GMU.  I went to UVA and have my MA also from UVA.  DH and I do well, but he does make a bit more money than I do.  I think the pressure in this area is insane, it's a rat race to nowhere.[/quote]
