[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It could be any number of things, including that the non-Honors section was the one being offered Period 1, which is the time that MS aged kids can attend a HS class.

I'd let it go. On balance, having your child be with all of the other middle schoolers is the most important thing. Algebra II is going to have kids up to seniors in high school. Let him stay in the class with his grade and age-level peers.

As for the GPA, grades earned in MS only "count" if they help the weighted GPA. But also you need to simmer down. Your child is obviously advanced, or at least extremely well-supported, and will do fine even if they have to take a "regular" A in 8th grade. [/quote]

I think you also have the choice of whether to include MS grades. I'd be more concerned whether taking regular Algebra 2 prepares them for Honors or AP Precalc if that's their next step. I don't know about this since our non-W school didn't offer math acceleration in ES which sets kids up for this.[/quote]
