if she chooses to spend it studying, how cool is that?
It's hard keeping up with her, is all!
Though I'd certainly never tell her that her interests aren't worth having, no matter *what* they were. (Well, not seriously. Occasionally I suggest to them that "all that reading" is bad for their brains and they should watch more TV, but they don't believe that anymore than they do when I tell them that they're not allowed any more birthdays and growing is verboten.)
Of course, there's also the option of letting her go ahead and learn all next year's math now, so that she'll be able to crank out easy A's in class, while continuing to get on with her own studies.
4s. Or, in the old system we used to use, E's. (For Excellent, followed by Good (in some places Very Good came before Good), Satisfactory, Needs Improvement, and Unsatisfactory. And, of course, Z - never showed up to class.)
