<p>Life is full of trade-offs. I think that your kid has had and will have a schedule that can reasonably be seen as rigorous with or without Acadec. I think in this situation your child will be fine. They aren’t trying to be “the science kid”. I would never choose to take Physics C with a lousy teacher. I know for us trying to take an advanced math course outside the school is a pain in the neck. I really think your child will be fine. </p>
<p>Both my kids made some choices (no AP English for either of them, an Astrophysics elective instead of some other AP for older son) that may have caused them a ding or two, but they got into reach schools and landed in places that were great fits.</p>
