[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My accelerated 10th grader’s pathway: 7th Alg 1 8th Geo 9th Alg 2/Trig 10th AP Stats 11th not sure -precalc/dual enrollment college Alg? 12-calculus? [b]He doesn’t particularly enjoy math[/b], although he is enjoying statistics so far. He finds it more relevant. [/quote] This is something parents looking at acceleration should consider. Here is a student who doesn't particularly enjoy math who will be spending a lot of cognitive load on math courses in HS and will probably have math courses drive his schedule at the expense of other courses he would enjoy more and get more out of. Possibly he needed the additional challenge in 4th and 5th grade, but consider if he had not accelerated so much earlier that he may enjoy school now, be more invested and less exhausted and be able to take an AP course or other rigorous that he is really interested in.
