I lost my argument with my fencer about changing one or two of classes to a lower, yet still advanced, level. I think this year (junior) will be like a war zone, trying to balance school work, training and competitions. It’s not like my child is super organized or super driven academically. It’s simply that child is super competitive. For reference, the rigor of our high school is such that only 2 AP classes are allowed to be taken and many say that honors level classes are at least as demanding/involved as AP classes. School has barely started and I am already dreading it :).
