My daughter could conceivably do this. She's taking Algebra 1 in 6th, and the math coordinator at her school suggested she might take geometry and algebra 2 next year, the same timeline written above by 21:37. She's used to working with high schoolers anyway, for her instrumental practice.

Honestly, none of it matters one little bit. It's all basic formula application anyway, and none of the standard course work goes into any in-depth problem-solving, which is what students REALLY need for college work in math-heavy disciplines. I'd rather she get accepted into a magnet high school and have interesting work in math, for once in her school life. On the side, she goes on the internet and looks for videos of proofs and interesting problems. Like her biostatistician father, she has a mathematical turn of mind. But it does not take a genius to have that kind of pathway in school. I'm sure many kids could do it, but it's a logistical hassle so they don't.

Are you in MCPS?  I haven't heard of any middle schools offering geometry and Algebra two combined.  [/quote]
