[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on how it’s taught. My son was the same as yours in 9th. We are at a private and most kids take AB…my son was told to take BC. At our school, they teach BC like the kids already took AB. So, BC starts with a monthlong review of AB then goes right into new topics. So, my kid was basically screwed trying to teach himself all of AB in a month. His teacher was an unhelpful ding dong. So, he basically did AB on Kahn academy while taking BC. He ended up with an A- (only non A/A+ grade in his life) and a 4 on the exam.

Ended up fine, but it was a complete PITA for him and if he hadn’t done lots of outside work his grade would have been crap…lots of C+to B grades were given.

My son’s ding dong teacher did at least warn him to not take multivariable as a junior (bc it will go on college apps). That was good advice bc current class average for that class is C+…while my son is sitting on an A+ in linear algebra.[/quote]

Sounds like a bad teacher.  [/quote]
