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:&#8212; the rationale behind taking two social studies AP classes and the potential challenges for the student&#8211;the importance of academic rigor and extracurricular involvement but stress the need for sustainability&#8211;evaluating the student&#8217;s past performance and considering alternative courses that might better set them up for success&#8212; having a balanced schedule that includes core subjects like English, math, history, science, and a foreign language&#8211;understanding the student&#8217;s motivation for taking the classes and whether it&#8217;s driven by personal interest or peer pressure&#8212; the potential benefits and drawbacks of taking AP classes in 9th grade and the typical age range for AP classes&#8212; physical activity and the benefits of varsity sports for students&#8212; considering the student&#8217;s overall well-being and not just academic success&#8212; knowing the student and understanding their individual needs and capabilities&#8212; the importance of a balanced approach to academics and extracurricular activities for overall success
