[quote=Anonymous]Another thread brought this to my attention, and I wanted to get other opinions on it. DC is in 7th and is on track to take geometry in 8th, Alg2 in 9th, precalculus in 10th, then calc bc in 11th. But DC does outside math enrichment and is already up to Alg2. DC enjoys math enough that he will probably continue that sequence regardless of what his FCPS track is. Since elementary school, DC knows that FCPS math class is "for review" and treats it as such. So we assumed he was going to stay on the track above, like everyone else in his AAP class.

But some DCUM posters are saying it might be advantageous to take geometry in the summer so that DC would be in Alg2 in 8th. I guess that would free up 1 year of math in high school... Are there any other pros/cons?  He might lose some WGPA because he loses the WGPA bump from honors Alg2? Note that there is no concern about whether he can handle a skip - as mentioned above, DC is already a couple years past the FCPS curriculum track and is aiming for USAJMO, so fairly advanced in math.[/quote]
