I'm stumped.

Dd started Cosmo at the county tech. Her school is amazing, and we were thrilled to be able to get her in. (they have a 3/1 acceptance)

 

I found out that most high schools count a few years of cosmo toward science credits. :001_huh: Color me ignorant. Then I looked through her book and whoa, VERY heavy on the chemistry and some biology. (Seriously-I didn't realize how hard cosmo was, and her teacher has 100% graduation rate with awards)

 

I am loathe to stop her sciences at home-she DOES want to go to college (Sarah Lawrence or The American Academy of Dramatic Arts)-she just wants cosmo for theater and to make $ for school.

 

But I don't want to overburden her, either.

 

Should I half this year's science? Should I let her do what she can get done but as an *extra*, not required?

 

What would you do?:confused:

Personally, I'd probably drop the science altogether.

 

My older dd graduated from cosmo, worked for awhile, then went on to graduate with a BA in English Lit. She still works as a stylist, because the money is good and she has extreme flexibility.

That's great to know!

 

Dd wants the cosmo for the theater work, too, but she's looking forward to being able to hit the road running as far as a paycheck.

FTR, dd paid her way through college as a stylist. Of course, it wasn't Harvard or anything, but still, she graduated debt-free.
