[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the rationale for students in a humanities program taking a more rigorous science class than is typically recommended in grade 9? Seems very odd.[/quote] Because these kids are not good at just one subject? My Eastern humanities magnet 8th grader was accepted to CAP and RMIB -- they've gotten a lot out of the Eastern program, but they're also strong in math and science.[/quote] My child is currently in the TPMS magnet so I’m not doubting whether they could handle it, but my understanding is that the CAP program pushes this (not just for exceptionally strong math/science students). It just seems odd that DC would take AP physics in grade 9 for CAP but not if they attended home school where this isn’t an option. That is what I am trying to understand.[/quote]
