[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any advantages to taking the computer science elective for high school credit in middle school? My kid wants to keep playing in the school band but at the same time seems to think he can do more advanced stuff in high school computer science if he does the A/B foundations class in 8th grade and drops band.

From my perspective he has 4 years of high school and can do computer science then, but am I missing something about pre-requisites or course load that makes it better to do in middle school?

Same convo I'm having with my kid. She really, really wants to do band, and I said it's her choice, but also that if she wants to keep doing band in HS each year (which she does), she will likely need to go to summer school for the tech credit (in addition to health). She says she's willing to do it.

She really isn't interested in technology/coding, and I can't imagine her doing the AP class, so she's planning to do the engineering class they offer in the summer before 9th.[/quote]
