[quote=Anonymous]OP makes a very good point. Why should any middle school course weigh in on a high school transcript? In fact, why should a course taken in elementary school be on the high school transcript? My elementary school 5th grader is taking Algebra 1 including the Algebra 1 HSA. Both will appear on the HS transcript 5 years from now! Absolutely ludicrous even though he carries an A average. Worthy universities (LAC, Ivy, Stanford, MIT to name a few) really only care about your grades in high school (what have you done for me lately). In fact, worthy colleges accept homeschoolers and other kids without a high school diploma. A high school diploma is not required to enter these institutions and high schools do not have a monopoly on academic accomplishment and intellectual horsepower.[/quote]
