[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP this is spot on.  Why it’s such a shame that parents push their kids on this super advanced track without thinking ahead.  Unfortunately many parents overestimate their kid, maybe because they don’t understand how there are kids out there that can truly handle this work, sometimes with no teaching and certainly no help.[/quote]

My kid choose this track.  We didn't push and tried to discourage it.  They just need a bit of support from a parent or tutor.  What is the big deal?  Just because you will not help your kids in any way but clearly have the time, doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't.  This kid can handle it.  They just need a bit more support.[/quote]

It’s great the kid is ambitious and aims high. But he can also bite more than he can chew and overestimate his capabilities. Make sure he’s ready, and aim for getting A while maintaining the most rigorous schedule possible. Hire a tutor, but make sure the workload is over his head and end up not being able to keep up. How is he doing compared to other kids in class? D is quite low, are other students getting over 90%? If yes, accept this is an alarming sign.[/quote]
