I would appreciate any input into DD's newest dilemma. She qualified for a tough science track last year, but at the advice of a guidance counselor she decided against it. His point was that the extra science isn't really needed for college and she would end up with an extra AP class as the only benefit. He also said many kids pick the track only to end up with B's instead of A's in the honors track bringing their GPAs down.
DD loves science and after a great science camp is now rethinking this decision. I told her that the honors classes can be just as enjoyable, but her ambitious nature might be kicking in. Her math placement gives her a good challenge so why not enjoy the easier science? Or should we contact the school and switch it?
