[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also find that the public HS counselors lean way on the side of never wanting to stress the kids out, so they will never encourage the kids to take more rigorous load than the kid is wanting. In fact, I think they are always encouraging kids NOT to load up on heavy schedule. And then when senior year comes, they tell you just about every school is a reach because you didn't take the most rigorous course load. This is not the case with private HS. [/quote]

Our private HS is the same and the college counselor told him he could stop at 3 years of language (he’s top of the class; 35 act applying to selective colleges).  Even the Princeton review college guide shows most of those schools want 4 years of foreign language.

My kid was also given poor advice freshmen year about waiting to start the honors science class while not being told that all honors science needed to be taken before AP science.
