<p>Thanks for clearing up the foreign language issue, SlitheyTove. But it increases my other concern. If your daughter is studying a foreign language in a sufficiently demanding program so that the high school will let her do it as an alternative to their own courses (rather than just, say, going to Saturday Chinese school), then she has another time-consuming commitment in addition to her demanding high school schedule. Adding a demanding studio art course on top of that seems like a lot of work. I like the suggestion that several people made above that she might want to seek out a less demanding non-AP studio art course at her high school to round out her schedule. She could really enjoy such a course without having to put in a lot of outside time or worry about an AP score.</p>
