Thanks for your reply Trinity. We started to
look for a good high school in the 7th grade.
Then moved to get into the right district. We
didn't know Serena was gifted until about then.
The right school has made a very big difference.
Not just the right courses, but good parent
involvement. We are from central Florida and
only one in ten high schools are good.
We feel the same way about the GPA. The three
examples show we feel it is better to learm the
course well and give up on the high GPA. This
comes because of the feeling that the AP courses
are not really college levels; and if you want
your child to skip those courses, they had better
know the materal well.
