It was a Herculean task to get my D's senior schedule to work out with her DE classes. The original plan was for her to take AP Calc BC, AP Physics, Senior Engineering Project (or other eng class) and "something interesting" at HS, while taking two other "something interesting" classes at college.
Without diving into the dirty details, she's ended up with the Calc and Physics AP classes, but instead of a real eng class she's a teacher's aide for Intro to Eng (pass/fail). At college she has an electrical engineering class and a humanities class. So we went from six classes to four and a half-ish. It is impossible to fit another HS class and too expensive to add another college class.
Should she use the "additional info" area to explain how this schedule came to be, or would that come over negatively? I'm thinking I should get her to do something valuable with her extra time, but I'm not really sure what. School just started this week, so I don't know yet how easy/hard it will be for her.
