This week we are answering a listener question: is it feasible for a 10th grader to take two AP courses, compete in varsity swim, and still have time for everything else?
Listen as we discuss:— the rationale behind taking two social studies AP classes and the potential challenges for the student–the importance of academic rigor and extracurricular involvement but stress the need for sustainability–evaluating the student’s past performance and considering alternative courses that might better set them up for success— having a balanced schedule that includes core subjects like English, math, history, science, and a foreign language–understanding the student’s motivation for taking the classes and whether it’s driven by personal interest or peer pressure— the potential benefits and drawbacks of taking AP classes in 9th grade and the typical age range for AP classes— physical activity and the benefits of varsity sports for students— considering the student’s overall well-being and not just academic success— knowing the student and understanding their individual needs and capabilities— the importance of a balanced approach to academics and extracurricular activities for overall success
