[quote=Anonymous]I guess the AFDA class runs the whole year? If kid earns a B in Algebra 1, he could then take either Algebra 1 (again) or AFDA in 9th, then Geometry in 10th, then Algebra 2 in 11th? Does that mess you up for: * other classes - will you be unable to take some other science class or something because your math isn't high enough? * you won't get an advanced diploma, just a normal diploma. What does that mean for colleges then? You won't get into any ivies certainly, but that's fine. But does this drastically lower options? * Does it matter a lot for SAT prep? Will some of the stuff they won't have covered be on the test that determines their college placement? Kid feels pressure (from self, not us) to keep up with peers. Grade is fine (B) but he stresses out a lot. Teacher advises moving down. [/quote]
