[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PPs. I just toured the local high school and there seems to be an AP craze so that high schoolers can get right to that college work. One parent actually asked why her parent had to wait until 10th grade to start taking APs. I know that I will either have to get with the program or look for an environment that will allow a little more room for  development. My DS is young for her class and I suspect not ready for the jump into the accelerated world that is today's HS. Perhaps that's a topic for a different forum![/quote]

If you are in public school won't this just be a continuation of the same curriculum with the same kids? You've already put your child in the accelerated classes-kids don't just end up in Geo in 8th grade. Maybe ask the counselors if she can repeat math in 9th so she's on the track to take calc in 12th rather than 11th. Or opt for on level rather than honors/AP. If you don't want her on a track for AP lang she can start a new language in 9th grade so will have levels 1-4 in HS.

Depending on the school system APs are really not that tough, and questionably college level. My DC took one in 9th grade and it was not his most challenging class. So I wouldn't worry that much about APs. [/quote]
