<p>D1 - I would be more involved. I would have chaperoned everything. I think she felt a little neglected. 
I had no idea she wanted me that involved until her high school career was almost over. I never wanted my parents involved. TALK to your kid specifically about your level of involvement.</p>
<p>D2 - The only thing I might have done was encourage more volunteer work, but no biggie really. She’s currently a music education major, which is her passion. She took a ton of AP and Dual classes and therefore saved a ton of money up front and has reduced her workload each college semester to a minimum. By the time her senior year comes, she won’t have to take many hours at all. She could have finished in 3 years if the classes didn’t have to run consecutively in her plan. She is able to enjoy her college time much more because of the groundwork she covered in high school.</p>
<p>D3 - Nothing. However, if we had known sooner that she wanted to be a Mechanical Engineering Major, I would have looked specifically at which Dual classes would have benefited her most. It’s fine though. When she graduates from high school, she’ll have the equivalent of 59 college hours, but she’ll probably only actually apply 27 to her degree plan. Still, much like D2, this will lighten her load a lot. Also, she will decline credit on AP Calculus and retake Calculus I - so it won’t be too bad. She should do well in the class. We could have tailored her work better if we knew her major sooner.</p>
