[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm interested in how the public schools handled your kid's accelerated curriculum?  When did he start the acceleated path in the school (I assume he was already doing a bunch of stuff at home) Did you have to bus him to the high school?

On a related note, is your kid studying to qualify or take the AIME or USAMO?

Thanks! [/quote]

DP but my kid was accelerated in middle school. Doubled Algebra 1 and Geometry in 6th, finished Algebra 2 in 7th and doing precalculus online in 8th. Would like to do calculus now but school system won't allow AP classes before high school. Qualified for AIME and USAJMO in 7th.[/quote]

How did you get the (public?) school to double up on math classes in 6th grade? The school system seems to be against that, from my experience.  I hoping the school allows DS to test out of Algebra instead.

Thanks[/quote]

Our school system somehow allowed it - it was the pandemic and the math specialist made a convincing case. For another kid, it meant no PE or electives but they were fine with it.[/quote]
