[quote=Anonymous]Everyone saying the parent shouldn’t have signed up their kid for something academic doesn’t know what they are talking about. Yes, if it’s all parent driven that’s no good but I did an academic type program every year as a tween/teen and it was all me finding out about and asking to be signed up and I loved all the programs I attended. I found “my people” and had a great time each time.

As for the program OP’s kid is doing, that really doesn’t sound great. Is this one of the more prestigious programs OP? Some of those actually do sound like they help with college admissions but they also sound more hard core in terms of research and academics and less focused on the social. I also read about some (I researched these a lot for my kid) that were more academic focused sounding and less fun, like I recall reading about some at CMU that sounded like that, and possibly even the UMD one.

My kid just attended a one week program where they did have an activity every night and kept the kids pretty busy. In general, I think one thing I looked for was a sample schedule for that gave an idea of how days would be spent. [/quote]
