She needs to learn to relax, have fun, and not take school quite so deathly serious. Otherwise she will make herself sick if there is ever a point where she isn't getting 100%, as you have somewhat seen with this situation where she cried over school work.
Just some advice from a 20 year old college sophomore who recently went through all of that. YMMV

It's a real concern, no doubt. I'm trying to talk her into a lighter load next year. This has been a grueling year for her. There's really no need to grind so hard in high school.
