@RussianMom @Leigh22 thanks for sharing your kids’ experience. I posted this question mainly for parents with high school kids. There is a big difference between a 16 yo and a 20 yo, and what they are facing is different. As @Leigh22 said, light school work is no problem for a college student, but may be an issue for a high school student to plan for future course selection and this may affect college application eventually.
This varies from person to person. I just want to think through this and don’t want to make a decision only to regret later.
