<p>To the post about D taking AP Spanish instead of AP Psych, I do understand what you are saying and it was a struggle for me, but not for her. After 4 years of Spanish, to say she hated it is an understatement. She would spend more time on Spanish than all her AP Sciences and Math put together. It simply was a brain buster for her. She is very interested in Neurology and the workings of the brain. She was unsure of AP Psych but loves this class. The teacher teaching taught on the college level but for personal reasons, now teaches at this High School. Any class that breeds a love a learning is in my opinion worthy. If it keeps her out of a “top school” then so be it, but I am fortunate to have a kid that loves her safety, but is reaching out to other schools too. I guess this time next year we will know if her decisions have paid off.</p>
<p>And just for an update, as of this morning (and certainly this can change) she wants to take Health and Speech via online class through UT and she will double on both AP Cal BC and AP Stats. Totally her decision. I for one wish she would take time to breathe.</p>
