I don’t see anything odd about planning out a high school program. We were asked to make such a plan by our 8th grade counselor. They want people to be aware of the offerings and to make sure that everyone has a plan which meets graduation requirements. In fact, I think it would be strange for people to enter high school without a 4 year plan. Before everyone jumps on me (because people like to take what other ssay to logical absurdity on this site), it’s a plan. A plan is not a legal contract. It’s also helpful in seeing what the workload might be, in ensuring that prerequisites are taken in time, that possible scheduling conflicts are minimized, and in making a student think seriously about their future and prioritize what is important to them.
“If you think that his plan needs improvement, where should he improve?” Yes, his plan desperately needs improvement. He needs to start thinking for himself, set his priorities, and define his interests both in school and outside. His parents need to back off and stop pressuring this kid so much or he may be the next stressed out high school student to jump in front of a train.
