[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you! That answers it.  Any idea if it can be completed asynchronously? The calendar seems like it could be a summer buster otherwise.[/quote]

A kid without an early aptitude for math wants to cram a year's worth of math into a summer and do it asynchronously? This is sounding like a bad idea.

There's no shame in starting calculus in college, or there shouldn't be. [/quote]

Thanks for the tip - this is not the circumstance, though.[/quote]

That's the circumstance you've described. If math has started clicking for this kid and they want to ratchet up the challenge, great! But geometry in the summer is a lot, asynchronous is harder, and the last thing anyone should be doing is coming up with a plan that increases the odds of frustration [/quote]

The OP never said anything about kid not having aptitude either. We know lots of military and foreign service families who come to APS and get place too low in math. Other countries don’t use same names for classes and have different sequences. not surprisingly APS is a pain in this regard. Often won’t test child for a different placement and just goes with lowest math class. [/quote]

Thank you (this is op).  Math aptitude is not even remotely at issue. New to APS. Just trying to figure out how to get stuff done.[/quote]
