What do you consider dropping? Just curious because my grades technically "dropped" this past year when I started allstar again, I had a 4.0 beforehand and it dropped to like a 3.95. But it wasn't because of cheer, it was because I was taking AP calc BC, APUSH, and AP Lang along with Spanish 4 with a crazy teacher and honors chemistry. So my classes were really difficult, which my parents understood and weren't mad about. Not saying you're not understanding, just curious where you would cut it off! It's super impressive that she keeps straight A's with that schedule! Now I feel dumb for calling myself busy....We have been doing this for a year and 5 months now..
We travel from houston to dallas.
Right now we have sat, sun, monday practices.
She goes up on saturday stays the night, then gets home sunday around 8pm.
Monday she leaves after school at 330 to make it to her 730 to 930pm practice and then gets back home around 130am in the morning.
She does her homework in the car and any studying she has.
Tuesday mornings are the hardest. She has to be at school by 715am. So she usually goes with a messy bun on her head haha.
When the majors, nca and worlds practice schedule comes we are at the gym every single night for 2 weeks straight usually.
Luckly we have a car pool. 3 of us moms take turns.
Kayla is on cheetahs, varsity cheer at school, student council, and president of the stars special needs club at school and maintains straight As. Trust me if we can manage it anyone can!
Just use the car time for studies. Make sure her grades dont suffer. Thats our breaking point. If my daughters grades drop she will not beable to do it anymore. Its our "deal"
