Not to hijack the thread, but any thoughts???
@bjkmom we’re struggling picking courses for my daughter. She’s currently a freshman at a super competitive, highly ranked public high school. She took algebra in 8th grade, struggled to end up with the required B- to move into geometry this year. She has an A+ in geometry and loves it. But based on her geometry grade, they are suggesting her for honors Algebra 2 next year. I think it’s a bad idea based on her Algebra 1 struggles.
Also, she has an A+ in CP Biology (she qualified for honors this year but we didn’t want to overload her). We probably should have done Honors Bio. But now, based on her A+, she’s qualified for Honors Chem. I’m horrible at Chem (luckily my husband is a science teacher!), but I remember the struggles of my son in CP Chem. My daughter is a much better student, much harder worker, very internally driven. But she also puts a great deal of stress on herself so I’m really concerned with overwhelming her. Does doing well in Bio serve as any indication she’d be able to handle honors Chem? I’m thinking not.
She will definitely be in honors Latin, English and History (possibly AP history depending on her year end grade) next year. Any thoughts??? My gut is saying stick with CP math & science.
