Thank you, @SlackerMomMD . Yes, I suspect I’m over thinking and over-reacting, after all…
I had actually suggested, earlier this semester, that she take another elective like an art or photography class (which she is good at and enjoys, but has never had time to pursue in high school). She wanted to take the Environmental Science, though, just in case.
And then, I saw the second semester C in Physics and freaked out myself. Inwardly! I haven’t said anything to her, yet, without talking to the GC…
She actually has a few Cs, but all in Physics and Calculus and Pre-Calc. Thank you for letting me know about your D. That is very reassuring.
She had originally signed up for Astronomy, actually, and I asked her if she was nuts. She had this idea that Intro Astronomy would be a piece of cake. Um, probably not. And it involves physics! So she changed it to Environmental…
When we talk with the GC, I’ll ask if she can be truly done with high school science for now, if she wants, and take something else.
Fwiw, she’s also taking 4 AP classes senior year, so it’s not like she’s slacking off.
