This also applies for higher level math courses, english courses & for that matter the courses necessary for the child to receive their AA. The parents role is very important & the child depends on strong involvement when the scheduling of CC courses are involved; my daughter took many afternoon classes that ended at 9:15pm, sat. classes, & summer classes.
