[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC's math teacher strongly recommended the kids not take Geometry between 7th and 8th. She said it was a lot of material for the summer without the time to fully absorb.

Having said that, if your kid is already at a point of taking Geometry by the summer between 7th and 8th, what's the math plan for HS.  They would be taking calculus in sophomore year. Assuming they are math-minded and may want to do more in college... To note tone, I'm genuinely asking and not trying to sound snotty. Do you split Calc AB in sophomore year, BC in junior and stats in senior? No concerns with them being away from calc for a year before actually entering college?  [/quote]

Depending on the level of stats, they may use calculus in stats.

The problem is that FX county doesn’t let you advance in a meaningful way. They place too many hurdles that work n tandem to stop you. Math is so useful and opens so many doors knowledge wise.

People are crazy over TJ bc there are many fewer opportunities at the base schools. If there was an option to really accelerate at the regular HS, TJ wouldn’t be so hot anymore.[/quote]

Sorry, I don't think this answered the question.  If you are in AAP and taking Algebra 1 in 7th grade, you would be taking calc BC by senior year. 
Beyond, BC and AP stats, what classes are they taking at TJ that are beyond that in math.  Again, asking sincerely.  What is the plan if they take Geometry over the summer? Is it to open another academically oriented elective for them? My oldest is in 7th so I am trying to understand the increased push and what the end-goal would be.

DC is in 7th with Algebra 1 and planning Geometry and Spanish in 8th.  That would be 3 HS classes before starting HS.  Not sure we plan to pursue more than that, but... I see PE in the summer.  I would have thought that was one class that was a stress relief during the year, but do people just add other electives?  Still learning this process.  [/quote]
