My OG alternately begs to do online school, then says she doesn't because she would miss her friends at school. The online school idea is mostly when the tween cattiness is at its worst (she is an all around good athlete - gymnastics, soccer, basketball, softball, football all show natural ability... and she is beautiful and smart and strong and has male friends as well as female friends). The other girls tend to say things about her (you can imagine what they say based on her hanging out with boys... plus there's the show-off, stuck up, brainiac aka nerd, and everything else).
She also likes the idea of going at her own pace so she can get through it all faster. IF she were to do online, her plan would be (assuming she got to start at the beginning of April): Finish 6th grade and get 7th grade done by June 15. Start back August 1 and do 8th grade and get through 8th and 9th and part of 10th by June 2015. For 2015/16, Finish 10th and complete 11th grade and start 12th grade (get most of the classes out of the way). In 2016/17, go back to her public high school so she could graduate with a "proper" diploma recognized by NCAA... and, since she would have most of her high school classes done, she would do College classes paid for by the high school. She would graduate in 2017... the same year as her older brother. She would continue with gym all the way through, but wouldn't have the stress of getting "busy work" done on the teacher's schedule.
