For anyone else reading this- it’s also ok NOT to double up on science and math, regardless of what a kid is interested in studying in college.
Mine studied math at MIT. Did his HS’s “plain vanilla” sequence for strong math students which ended with Calc BC senior year. As did many of his friends at MIT.
The world isn’t running out of math. Accelerating and doing summer work because a kid is bored in math class in HS is a good thing- if you don’t burn the kid out, and as long as there’s time for “regular” stuff like getting a job, taking out the garbage, helping grandma clean her garage. Accelerating because you think that without getting an A in Differential Equations senior year means your career in math is over– nah.
And much more so in the sciences. I see so many kids jumping through hurdles so they can “double down” by taking organic chemistry while in HS so they can get a head start for med school, or taking the non-tracked courses like Anatomy, Forensics, etc.
It’s really ok just to excel at the traditional HS curriculum and save the specialized stuff for college. Especially if it means giving the kid exposure to “real life” (a job) or non-academic enrichment (athletics, music, art, political engagement, volunteering).
