  1. I don't even know where we will go. It's so frustrating. I just wanted her to be able to go to college there if she wants to but then we still have 7 years until my husband can retire and unless she wants to stay with my family she will more likely start college here in the US.
  2. Ok, I guess I need to talk to the counselor. Thank you all for all the information.
  3. Where do I see that or do I need to ask. Sorry, I really have no idea about all that sstuf but on the this greatschool site it says at least they offer preperation for AP classe, right?
  4. So now when they put her in all advanced classes next year she will be on the right track, right?
  5. I am so confused now but I am hope we can figure it out
  6. I don't know but this site was recommended by a German professor I know. This is what I found, too https://heimatabroad.com/articles/ehe-partner-karriere/ausbildung-studium/mit-high-school-abschluss-in-deutschland-studieren-geht-das-so-einfach
  7. So this is not correct? Her counselor went in contact with somebody and she told me that they have several students going to college abroad.
  8. Oh ok. That' really interesting how the schools choose. We don't stay in Virginia. Normally we are scheduled to move right when she starts 12th grade but usually you can request for stabilization if your child is in her senior year but they don't always allow it. I know that can lead to lots of problems with the credits even though military kids should be protected and schools should accept earned credits. I feel the counselor and the teachers really like her and want to help her to have good chances to go to a college she likes. And yes, I keep talking to her that nobody is perfect and nobody can have 100 % all the time. So far she doesn't seem stressed out but she also has easy classes right now.
  9. I don't really know what to think about the school. The school is older and seems like a normal high school with normal kids but then I know that many people pay a lot of money to switch their kids to this district and in my daughter's class she is the only one that would qualify for reduced school lunch and we got a gift card for Christmas from the school district because obviously we are one of the poorer families there. That never happened to us before. They also offer some special programs. I don't know what the advanced classes mean exactly but I know that the counselor told me that she also needs to take electives and do volunteer hours because of college. Is that true? We don't know if we stay in the US and I told the counselor that it is important for me that she would be able to study in Germany or Austria, too. The counselor looked up the requirements and that's why she has two foreign languages instead of one (German and Spanish) and she makes sure she will have all the credits.
  10. She is bilingual. German is her first language and English her second. This is her 6th school within 9 years due to my husband being in the military and two years she was homeschooled (started during Covid). She was always very good in school and always stressed herself out about only having As. She is the oldest of four kids and was always a little different. The other three are more chaotic and her brother loves being with the wildest kids that do lots of stupid stuff. While she does have friends she is also very picky with that. Kids that smoke, cuss or don't care about school she doesn't want to hang out with. While I should be happy I am also a little worried about her tunnel vision of always being correct and perfect. She only eats healthy, runs every day and goes to bed early. She is an absolute perfectionist and while she was always that way it got a lot more extreme here and I feel the counselor and the teachers that tell her how smart, disciplined and great she is feed this a lot. My husband and me tell her that we are happy that she has good grades but honestly we really dont care that much about school as long as our kids have ok grades. I am worried she stresses herself too much. Where we come to another question. Does it not seem excessive to only have advanced classes? I feel she should choose two like English and maybe math but not in history or science.
  11. Yes, she wanted to try to catch up somehow but she doesn't want to do anything math related anyways. I might need to talk to the counselor again. My son goes to 7th grade next year (I only homeschool the two younger ones right now) and he will have Pre Algebra next year (he loves math) but you could also take just math 7th grade. I feel a little bad now but thanks God she is not my math child and loves languages more and I hope I didn't ruin her future now.
  12. She did Math U See Algebra 1 and some Kahn Academy 8th grade but the counselor back in Kansas said we just put her in Algebra 1 and we agreed as her friends were in there and I honestly did not even think about it that this could be considered behind.
  13. No, they just put her in Algebra 1. She started 9th grade in Kansas and then we moved after 4 weeks and they just kept the subjects.
  14. I really thought that is the normal way. We just moved here from Kansas and all the kids I knew of were in Algebra 1 in 9th grade. This school district here is also the one people want to go to. We specifically chose an older house to be able to live in this district as everybody recommended it. They also have IBM or I don't exactly know what it's called or what it is and the counselor tries to get her in but they also usually prepare for that in middle school.
