[quote=Anonymous]I can say that I put my gen Ed kid who was considered for AAP but not ultimately placed, that we did honors history and science and it was completely fine.  He did much better in middle school than elementary, overall.

Math and English: He did math 7 in 7th and algebra 1 honors in 8th, based on performance in 7th and teacher / counselor recommendation.  I did have some hesitancy about that so he did an intro to algebra 1 two week course through Fairfax collegiate a few weeks before school started.  We stuck with english gen Ed through 9th.

I have another kid who will go to MS now and we will do honors for all but math.  They were not in the AAP pool for consideration.  I get confused about math, because they advise against math 7 honors heavily stating that math 7 honors is basically math 8 and you are skipping a year.  I don’t want my kid to feel overwhelmed, but also don’t want them underwhelmed.  I’m still undecided.  They are definitely frustrated with math in 6th as it’s a lot of 5th review.  I just don’t want to push.[/quote]
