[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't assume the B part of AB is equivalent to the B part of BC. At some schools, maybe, it's not uncommon for kids to take AB followed by BC. Talk to your math department.[/quote]

What a waste (AB one year and BC the next)!!! Why did you have your child accelerate and take math earlier in the first place if you are “slowing” down and repeating content in Calculus over 2 years. [/quote]

A good number of kids take AB and then BC, it is not an unusual path. It works well for kids who are strong in math but it is not their fac=vorite subject or they take a bit longer to pick up concepts. Kids who find math easy and have not had to work really hard at imath tend to be the ones who skip AB. There is nothing wrong with the AB to BC route.

OP seems to think that there is and is trying to take a weird route.[/quote]

It seems to be funny that what is described above is a race to take Algebra 1 in 7th grade (thus Calculus in 11th grade), but then opt to take the easy way out (Calculus BC in 12th grade and repeating much content), rather than challenge and take the next advanced math course (or another course AP Stat). Why take Algebra 1 in grade 7 then?????[/quote]
