We just got her schedule today, she is in 3 honors and 2 Ap's as a freshman, in addition to Band, which will involve practicing, marching at games, and early morning practices. Speech, her other course, will be a good way to address her difficulty with speaking to crowds. I guess this will be the real test of ADD....
By the way, I discussed it with her and she said she was going to *really* try hard this year, and I can see that she really is motivated, especially with her difficult courses (AKA more interesting). I've heard Biology Honors is killer, even for gifted kids, (ends up being mostly gifted kids in the class because the others drop out), hopefully since Science is one of the more interesting subjects for her, she'll really get a lot out of that. Also, she is *absolutely ecstatic* about AP Geography and AP World History.
So like I said, if her grades aren't great at the beginning,even with her seeming more motivated, it might be time to see about medication.
