[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child is choosing the class, OP.  No one is required to take that class. [/quote]

Not OP.  But that's the next class in the sequence if you take Algebra 1 in 7th grade, which FCPS offers.   Also, those classes are listed in the Falls Church HS catalog, and there is nothing that says you need to provide transportation in order to take that class.  I get that OP's kid doesn't have to take the class, but if you list something in the catalog as a class that is offered, wouldn't you be annoyed if your kid signed up for the class and doesn't find out until the beginning of the year that transportation isn't provided?  I looked at the courses offered and assumed things in the school's catalog were classes offered at the school.  Now I know better.  I think this should be noted in the catalog.  [/quote]

Isn't it an assumption that other than core classes required for graduation, classes will only run if they get enough numbers?  My kid is in MCPS, but he has always needed to provide alternative choices for electives.  I teach in a private school and we do the same thing.  It's not infrequent for classes not to run, or for classes to conflict so that a student doesn't get their first choice.

This also isn't "the next class in the sequence", it's one of several sequences.  Students can take AB in 11th and BC in 12th, or AB or BC followed by AP Stats, or stop after calculus and take an additional science or an additional foreign language or something. [/quote]
