[quote=Anonymous]In FCPS, kids who take honors math classes (starting with Algebra in 8th) will usually take AP Calculus BC in 12th. Kids in regular math might take AP Calc AB (or regular calculus) in 12th. My DS tested into and opted not to take Algebra I Honors in 7th grade. He likes math and I didn't want to ruin that with the horrible teacher his school assigned to 7th grade Algebra (and he doesn't like school that much in general, so putting him in constant tutoring to make up for the teacher's shortcomings was not an attractive option). I feel like he got a much better foundation by waiting to take Algebra. He's not a competitive type of person and doesn't care if the "best" kids are taking post-AP math senior year while he takes BC Calc.[/quote]
