<p>Thank you all for your inputs and my special thanks go to Consolation & Oldfort.</p>
<p>Just 2 updates:</p>
<p>1) My D had a 1:1 meeting with her GC yesterday. And the GC encouraged my D to take AP English, which is exactly what I want!! And I knew if the GC had not done so then my D would not have taken my advice. I am relived a bit on this issue.</p>
<p>2) The GC arranged an 1:1 meeting with me tomorrow. I can’t wait, my God.</p>
<p>BTW, there are indeed quite a few GCs at my D’s high school. Maybe 10 or more? But they are responsible for all 4 grades, though. That means each GC is taking care of 160-180 kids (ca. 45/grade).</p>
<p>My D has never talked to her former GC in freshman year and she only talked to her former GC once in sophomore year when the GC “tricked” her to BC Calc. My D talked to her current GC once in last September, once yesterday. </p>
<p>The school told us GCs are mainly focused on Seniors year around and Juniors in late spring. My interpretation is “don’t bother them if you are a sophomore or freshman”. The school also told us the best way to reach teachers would be through emails. Sure they have all the numbers listed but I don’t how many kids or their parents would call those numbers.</p>
<p>And lastly, is a high school of 1800 kids considered large or medium or super large? Like I said before, I grown up abroad and have no sense about the public high school size in the US. I just know our high school cannot be a small one.</p>
