[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If kids can't  handle HS stress, how will they handle college stress? It will be much more stressful than HS. [/quote]

College classes are a few hours a day. It is a piece of cake compared to 7-8hrs of school and 3-4 hours of HW[/quote]

I think this is a misleading and somewhat careless statement. College is a different ballgame. You can't compare it with HS classes. My DC who is a graduate of MCPS magnet finds college classes very difficult - yes, it's only a few hours a day but the amount of work you have to do out of class can be overwhelming depending on your major.

I disagree. Most kids find college easier when they have a very stressful HS experience. You should check why your daughter is having a  problem in college. Maybe it is a social skills issue, not use to being away without her parents help.

When she was home did she clean, cook, do laundry, socialize, voluntter etc. If not you probably crippled her thinking 5APs and test prep were more important than living life. [/quote]
