[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'd talk to the school counselor, the precalc teacher, and maybe the calc teacher/head of the math department as well. First, as PP noted, your child needs help getting through whatever the problems are right now, to ensure a solid basis for moving on to whatever the next level is. Second, don't try to make your kid keep up with the rat race if precalc is hard -- based on the advice you get and how well your kid does in precalc, consider the calculus w/applications or at most A/B. B/C is brutal for a strong math kid (at least at DC's HS), and multivariable is even worse. A kid with AP Calc AB (or AB followed by BC) is a high-achieving kid even without the hardest of the hard classes.[/quote]

Thanks. Unfortunately the counselor is absolutely terrible and we’ve reached out to the precalc teacher and he doesn’t respond.  We’ve hired a tutor.

I’m just trying to understand the math options in MCPS since we haven’t gotten any insight from the school.  [/quote]
