Thanks Dottie & Ania,

It's so therapeutic to gain reassurance here. I'm trying to avoid the online course route right now because I want DS to go out for the HS golf team, continue with MESA club (science) and other activities that will be impacted if he's spending evenings doing online coursework or reading. We have no IB program here, unfortunately, but that sounds great and makes sense.

Anyway, back to SAT-related stuff--are either of your kids going to do a summer institute this year (have I asked that before?)? There's language immersion through Johns Hopkins (Ania, I know Ghost already has some languages down), international studies (my DS says, "I am NOT going to China, Mama!") Ok, maybe I'm projecting my interests... He wants to go back to Duke (their courses don't come out till Jan). We'll see.
